A be a square matrix of order 4 × 4 , then what is the value of  |3A| . 

A be a square matrix of order 4 × 4 , then what is the value of  |3A| .  Correct Answer 81 |A|

Concept: 

If A be a square matrix of order n × n , then |kA| = kn |A| . 

Calculation: 

Given matrix A is the square matrix of order 4 × 4 , we know that |kA| = kn |A| , where n be the order of matrix 

We have n = 4 

⇒ |3A| = 34 |A| 

⇒ |3A| = 81 |A|  . 

The correct option is 4.
