Q33 / 90 · JEE Main 2022 (27 Jun Shift 2) · Mathematics

Let A and B be two 3×3 matrices such that AB=I and A=18 then adjBadj2A is equal to

  • A
    128
  • B
    32
  • Correct answer
    C
    64
  • D
    102

Solution

Given, AB=I and A=18

Now by using property adjPQ=adjQadjP we get, adjB·adj2A=adjadj2AadjB     ...i

Now adjadj2A=adj2A2 =2A4

=234A4=234A4=84A4      ...ii

{Property used adjA=An-1 and kA=knA where n is order of matrix}

Now adjB=B2 .............(iii)

Now putting the value of equation ii & iii in eq i

we get adjB·adj2A=84A4B2 

Now usingA=1Bas AB=I, we get

adjB·adj2A=84A4×1A2  =84×A2=84×182=64

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
