MCQ
Let $A=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2 & 1 & 0 \\ 1 & 2 & -1 \\ 0 & -1 & 2\end{array}\right]$. If $|\operatorname{adj}(\operatorname{adj}(\operatorname{adj} 2 A))|=(16)^{ n }$, then $n$ is equal to
  • $10$
  • B
    $9$
  • C
    $12$
  • D
    $8$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$10$
a
$| A |=2[3]-1[2]=4$

$\therefore|\operatorname{adj}(\operatorname{adj}(\operatorname{adj} 2 A ))|$

$=|2 A |^{( n -1)^3} \Rightarrow|2 A |^8=16^n$

$\Rightarrow\left(2^3|A|\right)^8=16^n$

$\Rightarrow\left(2^3 \times 2^2\right)^8=16^n$

$=2^{40}=16^n$

$=16^{10}=16^n \Rightarrow n=10$

Of the three independent events $E_1, E_2$ and $E_3$, the probability that only $E_1$ occurs is $\alpha$,only $E_2$ occurs is $\beta$ and only $E_3$ occurs is $\gamma$. Let the probability $p$ that none of events $E_1, E_2$ or $E_3$ occurs satisfy the equations ( $\alpha$ $-2 \beta) p=\alpha \beta$ and $(\beta-3 \gamma) p=2 \beta \gamma$. All the given probabilities are assumed to lie in the interval $(0,1)$.
