    Answer : 25
    Given : A is a square matrix of order 3 and $\left | A \right |=5$
    Hint : use the formula of $adj\left ( A \right )$
    solution :
    $n=3$ & $\left | A \right |=5$
    We know that
    $\begin{aligned} &|a d j A|=|A|^{n-1} \\ &=(5)^{3-1} \quad(n=3 \&|A|=5) \\ &=5^{2} \\ &|a d j A|=25 \end{aligned}$

    Adjoint and inverse of a Matrix Exercise very short answer type Question 5

    Answer : $\frac{1}{10}$
    Given : A is non-singular square matrix and $\left | A \right |=10$
    you must know about the concept of non-singular matrix
    Solution : We know that
    $\left | A \right |^{-1}=\frac{1}{\left | A \right |}$
    $\left | A \right |^{-1}=\frac{1}{10} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \because \left ( \left | A \right |=10 \right)$

    Adjoint and inverse of a Matrix Exercise very short answer type Question 6

    Answer: A must be invertible and $\left | A \right |\neq 0$

    Given: A, B and C are non null square matrix of same order & AB=AC implies B = C

    Hint : you must know about invertible and non-invertible matrix

    Solution : AB=AC can be write only when A is invertible$\left | A \right |\neq 0$

    $|A| \neq 0$

    $A B=A C$

    Multiply both sides by $A^{-1}$

    $A^{-1} A B=A^{-1} A C$

    $I B=I C$

    $B=C$

    If Ais not invertible then $A^{-1}$ does `nt exist then,

    $AB=AC$

    $B=C$

    Hence, the condition of A is invertible or $\left | A \right |\neq 0$

    Solution : We know that

    $\left(A^{T}\right)^{-1}=\left(A^{-1}\right)^{T}$

    $\left(A^{T}\right)^{-1}=\left[\begin{array}{ll} 5 & 3 \\ -2 & -1 \end{array}\right]^{T}$

    $\left(A^{T}\right)^{-1}=\left[\begin{array}{ll} 5 & -2 \\ 3 & -1 \end{array}\right]$

    Hint : use the concept of A adj A
    Solution : $\left | A adj A\right |=?$
    $\begin{aligned} &A(\operatorname{adj} A)=|A| I \\ &A(\operatorname{adj} A)=4 I \quad[|A|=4] \\ &|A(\operatorname{adj} A)|=|4 I| \\ &|A(\operatorname{adj} A)|=4\left[\begin{array}{lll} 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \end{array}\right] \\ &=4 \times 1 \\ &=4 \\ &|A(\operatorname{adj} A)|=4 \end{aligned}$
