Question 15. Let A be a square matrix of order 3 x 3, then|A| is equal to:

(A) k|A|

(B) k²|A|

(C) k³|A|

(D) 3k|A|

Solution:

Let A = $\begin{bmatrix}1 & 2 & 3\\4 & 5 & 6\\7 & 8 & 9\end{bmatrix}$ be a square matrix of order 3 x 3 ….(1)
Now, kA= $\begin{bmatrix}k1 & k2 & k3\\k4 & k5 & k6\\k7 & k8 & k9\end{bmatrix}$
⇒|kA|= $\begin{vmatrix}k1 & k2 & k3\\k4 & k5 & k6\\k7 & k8 & k9\end{vmatrix}$
⇒|kA|=k³ $\begin{vmatrix}1 & 2 & 3\\4 & 5 & 6\\7 & 8 & 9\end{vmatrix}$
∴ |kA|= k³|A| [ from eqⁿ.(1) ]
∴ option (C) is correct.

Question 16.Which of the following is correct

(A) Determinant is a square matrix.

(B) Determinant is a number associated to a matrix.

(C) Determinant is a number associated to a square matrix.

(D) None of these

Solution:

Since, Determinant is a number which is always associated to a square matrix.
∴ option (C) is correct.
