If A is a singular matrix,

Question:

If $A$ is a singular matrix, then $A(\operatorname{adj} A)=$____________

Solution:

As we know that, $A(\operatorname{adj} A)=|A| I$.

But it is given that $A$ is a singular matrix

Thus, $|A|=0$

Therefore, $A(\operatorname{adj} A)=0 I=O$, where $O$ is the zero matrix.

Hence, if $A$ is a singular matrix, then $A(\operatorname{adj} A)=\underline{O}$.
