Answer

Correct option: A.

$17$

a
$PQ = kI$

$| P | \cdot| Q |= k ^{3}$

$\Rightarrow| P |=2 k \neq 0 \Rightarrow P$ is an invertible matrix

$\because PQ = kI$

$\therefore Q=k P^{-1} I$

$\therefore Q=\frac{\text { adj.P }}{2}$

$\because q _{23}=-\frac{ k }{8}$

$\therefore \frac{-(3 \alpha+4)}{2}=-\frac{ k }{8} \Rightarrow k =4$

$\therefore| P |=2 k \Rightarrow k =10+6 \alpha \ldots( i )$

Put value of $k$ in (i).. we get $\alpha=-1$
