The correct answer is: 5

Given, A=1-1121-3111

Then, A=11+3+12+3+12-1

A=10 

Also, C11=4, C12=-5, C13=1, C21=2, C22=0, C23=-2, C31=2, C32=5, C33=3

And Adj(A)=C11C21C31C12C22C32C13C23C33=422-5051-23

We know that, A-1=1A·AdjA

A-1=110422-5051-23

Also given that, B=A-1 and 10B=422-50α1-23

422-50α1-23=422-5051-23

α=5
