The correct answer is:
5
$x$ is element $a_{12}$ in adj (A)
$\therefore \mathrm{x}=$ cofactor of $\mathrm{a}_{21}=(-1)^{2+1}\left|\begin{array}{ll}0 & 2 \\ 2 & 1\end{array}\right|=-(-4)=4$
Similarly, $y=(-1)^{3+3}\left|\begin{array}{cc}1 & 0 \\ -1 & 1\end{array}\right|=1 \Rightarrow x+y=5$
$\therefore \mathrm{x}=$ cofactor of $\mathrm{a}_{21}=(-1)^{2+1}\left|\begin{array}{ll}0 & 2 \\ 2 & 1\end{array}\right|=-(-4)=4$
Similarly, $y=(-1)^{3+3}\left|\begin{array}{cc}1 & 0 \\ -1 & 1\end{array}\right|=1 \Rightarrow x+y=5$
