det(adj A)=(det A)(2-1)2=2
det(adj B)=(det B)(3-1)2=34
det(adj C)=(det C)(4-1)2=49

i think this can work !!

I cannot understand anything from this.Please if you like,then show me the detailed working or show that much with I can understand.

-2?

i am also getting the answer as -2.

but i m not sure of the fact that...

l ABC l = lAl lBl lCl , which i have used...

@samagra,

det(adj A) = (det A)n-1. where n is the order of the determinant...
not (det A)(n-1)2.

The answer is quite abject.The answer is -39.Please give the proof of your facts and logics.

can any1 explain.....how is ABC possible???

exactly
how can u multiply A,B and C
they rnt conformable...

yes, ABC is not possible.

@joydoot,thanks.

is there any derivation for det(adj(adj(adj(...P times(adj(A)))..) for any K*K order matrix,if det(A) is given.

then how to get it...
someone pls post how to get the solution of this problem..

yes, i know i cant do that,
l ABC l = lAl lBl lCl ..

@ samagra,

for ur question,

lAl l adj A l = lAlk
thus, l adj Al = lAlk-1
thus similarly,
l adj(adj A) l = l adj A ln-1 = lAl(n-1)2.

thus for k th order determinant and p times adjoint determinant,

we get the result as,

l adj(adj(adj..........ptimes)))...)) l = lAl(k-1)p

Joydoot,how is!A!!adjA!=!A!k?????

Joydoot ghatak ·

it is a theorem...

u can verify it...
take a determinant and find out its cofactors...
form another determinant by replacing the cofactors and then find out the product...

see what u get...
