MCQ
If cofactor $C _{i j}$ represent for element $p_{i j}$, of matrix $P =\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1 & -1 & 2 \\ 0 & 2 & -3 \\ 3 & 2 & 4\end{array}\right]$ then value of $C_{31} . C_{23}$ is $:$
  • $5$
  • B
    $24$
  • C
    $-24$
  • D
    $-5$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$5$
$\begin{aligned} & C_{31}=(-1)^{3+1}\left|\begin{array}{cc}-1 & 2 \\ 2 & -3\end{array}\right|=3-4=-1 \end{aligned} $
$ C_{23}=(-1)^{2+3}\left|\begin{array}{cc}1 & -1 \\ 3 & 2\end{array}\right|=-(2+3)=-5  $
$ \text { Hence } C_{31} \cdot C_{23} =(-1)(-5) =5$
