Q77.If A is a 3 × 3 matrix such that |5 adjA| = 5, then |A| is equal to (1) ± 251 (2) ±5 (3) ± 51 (4) ±1

What This Question Tests

This question tests the application of fundamental properties of determinants, specifically for scalar multiplication and adjoint matrices. The calculation for the given expression leads to |A|=±1/5, which is not among the options, suggesting a possible typo in the problem statement (where RHS should likely be 125 to yield |A|=±1).

Concepts Tested

Determinant of a scalar multiple of a matrixDeterminant of an adjoint matrix

Formulas Used

|kA| = k^n|A|

|adjA| = |A|^(n-1)
