MCQ
If $A=$ $\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{5a}&{ - b}\\3&2\end{array}} \right]$ and $A\;adj\;A = A\;{A^T},$ then $5a+b $ to :
  • A
    $4$
  • B
    $13$
  • C
    $-1$
  • $5$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$5$
d
$A=\left[\begin{array}{cc}{5 a} & {-b} \\ {3} & {2}\end{array}\right]$ and $A^{T}=\left[\begin{array}{cc}{5 a} & {3} \\ {-b} & {2}\end{array}\right]$

$\mathrm{AA}^{\mathrm{T}}=\left[\begin{array}{cc}{25 \mathrm{a}^{2}+\mathrm{b}^{2}} & {15 \mathrm{a}-2 \mathrm{b}} \\ {15 \mathrm{a}-2 \mathrm{b}} & {13}\end{array}\right]$

Now, $A \,adj$ $\mathrm{A}=|\mathrm{A}| \mathrm{I}_{2}=\left[\begin{array}{cc}{10 \mathrm{a}+3 \mathrm{b}} & {0} \\ {0} & {10 \mathrm{a}+3 \mathrm{b}}\end{array}\right]$

Given $\mathrm{AA}^{\mathrm{T}}=\mathrm{A}$. adj $\mathrm{A}$

$15 a-2 b=0$         ........$(1)$

$10 a+3 b=13$         ...........$(2)$

Solving we get

$5 a=2$ and $b=3$

$\therefore 5 a+b=5$
