Solution

The correct options are
B 4αk+8=0
C det(P adj (Q))=29
Here, P=31220α350
Now, |P|=3(5α)+1(3α)2(10)
=12α+20 . . . (i)
adj (P)=5α3α1010612α(3α+4)2T
=5α10α3α63α410122 . . . (ii)
A PQ = kI
|P||Q| = |kI|
|P||Q| =k3
|P|(k22)=k3 [given, |Q|=k22]
|P| = 2k . . . (iii)
PQ = ki
Q =kp1I
=k.adjP|P|=k(adj P)2k [from Eq. (iii)]
=adj P2=125α10α3α63α410122 q23=3α42 [given, q23=k8]
(3α+4)2=k8 (3α+4)×4=k
12α+16=k . . . (iv)
From Eq. (iii), |P| = 2k
4α - k + 8 = - 4 - 4 + 8 = 0
Option (b) is correct.
Now, |P adj (Q)| = |P||adj Q|
=2k(k22)2=k52=2102=29
Option (c) is correct.
