Ques. 1JEE Main 2025, 22 January (Evening Shift)

For a 3 3 matrix M, let trace (M) denote the sum of all the diagonal elements of M. Let A be a 3 3 matrix such that |A|= 12 and trace (A)=3. If B=adj(adj(2A)), then the value of |B|+ trace (B) equals :

  1. 56
  2. 132
  3. 174
  4. 280

Answer

(4) 280

Solution

adj(adj M)=|M|n-2M=|M| M for n=3; M=2A, |M|=8 12=4 B=8A

|B|=83 12=256, trace(B)=8 3=24

|B|+trace(B)=280

Answer: (4)
