Question
If $\text{A}=\begin{bmatrix} \text{a} & \text{b} \\ \text{c} & \text{d} \end{bmatrix},\text{B}=\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix},$ find adj (AB).

Answer

$\text{A}\times\text{B}=\begin{bmatrix} \text{a} & \text{b} \\ \text{c} & \text{d} \end{bmatrix}$A × B is a non-singular matrix. Therefore, it is invertible.
Let $C_{ij}$ be a cofactor of $a_{ij}$​​​​​​​ in A.
The cofactors of element A are given by
$C_{11} = d$
$C_{12} = -c$
$C_{21} = -b$
$C_{22} = a$
$\therefore\ \text{adj A}=\begin{bmatrix} \text{d} & -\text{c} \\ -\text{b} & \text{a} \end{bmatrix}^\text{T}=\begin{bmatrix} \text{d} & -\text{b} \\ -\text{c} & \text{a} \end{bmatrix}$
