Question:medium

If \[ A(\operatorname{adj}A)= \begin{bmatrix} 2026 & 0 & 0\\ 0 & 2026 & 0\\ 0 & 0 & 2026 \end{bmatrix}, \] then the value of \[ \left|\operatorname{adj}A\right| \] is equal to \[ \_\_\_\_. \]

Show Hint

For any scalar matrix \( A(\text{adj } A) = kI_n \), the determinant value is \( |A| = k \), and the determinant of its adjoint is always \( k^{n-1} \). Here, \( n=3 \), so the answer is immediately \( k^2 \).
  • \( 2026 \)
  • \( (2026)^{-1} \)
  • \( (2026)^{-2} \)
  • \( (2026)^2 \)
Show Solution

The Correct Option is D
