Let A be a square matrix of order 3 and \(|A| = 9\) Then \(|adj(adjA)| =\)

  • A.6561
  • B.6564
  • C.6569
  • D.8187
  • E.8164

Answer: A

\(|adj(adj A)|\) equals 6561.

For a square matrix of order n, \(|adj A| = |A|^{n-1}\), so applying it twice gives

\[ |adj(adj A)| = |A|^{(n-1)^{2}} = 9^{4} = 6561 \]

for \(n = 3\). Using \(|A|^{n-1}\) only once would give 81. The other options are near-misses of \(9^{4}\) that come from no rule.
