Let A be 2 x 2 matrix.Statement I `adj (adj A) = A`Statement II `|adj A| = A`A. Statement -1 is True, Statement -2 is true, Statement -2 is a correct explanation for Statement-1.B. Statement-1 is True, Statement -2 is True, Statement -2 is not a correct explanation for Statement -1.C. Statement -1 is True, Statement -2 is False.D. Statement -1 is False, Statement -2 is True.

Answer» Correct Answer - B
For any square matrix a of order n, we have
`abs(adjA)=absA^(n-1)and adj(adjA)=absA^(n-2)A`
`:. " For a " 2xx2` matrix, we have n=2
`abs(adj A)=absAand adj(adjA)=A`
Also, `adj(adjA)=absA^(n-2)` A is obtained by replacing A by adj A in the relation `A (adjA)=absAI_n`
Hence, both the statements are true. But, statement -2 is not the correct explanation for statement - 1.
