Plz solve this ques no.56

Dear Student, assuming your question to be
"If A is a 3 X 3 invertible matrix, then what will be the value of k if  det(A-1)=(det(A)k"
Solution) det(A1)=(detA)k ...(1)As, we know that A.A1=Idet(A.A1)=det(I)det(A).det(A1)=det(I){because if A and B are square matrices of same order then det(AB)=det(A).det(B)}det(A1)=1det(A){Using det(I)=1}det(A1)=det(A)-1...(2)Therefore, from (1) and (2), we get,k=-1Regards!
