The correct answer is: -2A

Given:

A=73αβ1-11-5γ19

And,

A5-1311=-290-119210

73αβ1-11-5γ195-1311=-290-119210

11α-45β-134184-13γ=-290-119210

So,

11α-4=-290α=-26

5β-134=-19β=3

184-13γ=210γ=-2

So,

A=73-2631-11-5-219

A=7-3-32-26-1=1

adjA=-3-2-1-53-1-7-1-2T

adjA=-3-5-7-23-1-1-1-2

So,

A-1=adjAA=-3-5-7-23-1-1-1-2

So,

adjA-1=-7-35-3-122611-19T=-7-326-3-11152-19

Also,

adjA=1

adjadjA=-7-326-3-11152-19

So,

adjA-1=adjadjAadjA=-7-326-3-11152-19

Hence,

adjA-1+adjA-1=2-7-326-3-11152-19

adjA-1+adjA-1=-273-2631-11-5-219

adjA-1+adjA-1=-2A
