  x&3&2 \\ 
  1&y&4 \\ 
  2&2&z 
\end{array}} \right]$, $xyz = 60$ and $8x + 4y + 3z = 20$, then $A.(Adj A)$ is equal to
  • $\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
      {68}&0&0 \\ 
      0&{68}&0 \\ 
      0&0&{68} 
    \end{array}} \right]$
  • B
    $\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
      {64}&0&0 \\ 
      0&{64}&0 \\ 
      0&0&{64} 
    \end{array}} \right]$
  • C
    $\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
      {34}&0&0 \\ 
      0&{34}&0 \\ 
      0&0&{34} 
    \end{array}} \right]$
  • D
    $\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
      {88}&0&0 \\ 
      0&{88}&0 \\ 
      0&0&{88} 
    \end{array}} \right]$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
  {68}&0&0 \\ 
  0&{68}&0 \\ 
  0&0&{68} 
\end{array}} \right]$
a
$A \cdot(A d j A)=|A| I$

$|A|=\left|\begin{array}{lll}{x} & {3} & {2} \\ {1} & {y} & {4} \\ {2} & {2} & {z}\end{array}\right| $

$ =x(y z-8)-3(z-8)+2(2-2 y) $ 

$=x y z-(8 x+4 y+3 z)+28 $

$=60-20+28=68 $

$\therefore \,\,\,\,\,A \cdot (Adj\,A) = 68I = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
{68}&0&0\\
0&{68}&0\\
0&0&{68}
\end{array}} \right]$

Consider the system of linear equations ${a_1}x + {b_1}y + {c_1}z + {d_1} = 0$, ${a_2}x + {b_2}y + {c_2}z + {d_2} = 0$ and ${a_3}x + {b_3}y + {c_3}z + {d_3} = 0$. Let us denote by $\Delta (a,b,c)$ the determinant $\left| {\,\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{a_1}}&{{b_1}}&{{c_1}}\\{{a_2}}&{{b_2}}&{{c_2}}\\{{a_3}}&{{b_3}}&{{c_3}}\end{array}\,} \right|$ if $\Delta (a,b,c) \ne 0$, then the value of $x$ in the unique solution of the above equations is
