The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Simplify the Expression

\[ A(I + \text{adj } A) = AI + A(\text{adj } A) = A + |A|I \]

Step 2: Calculate Determinant \( |A| \)

\[ |A| = 1(8 - 6) - (-2)(0 - (-9)) + 2(0 - 6) \]

\[ |A| = 1(2) + 2(9) + 2(-6) = 2 + 18 - 12 = 8 \]

Step 3: Calculate \( A + 8I \)

\[ \begin{bmatrix} 1 & -2 & 2 \\ 0 & 2 & -3 \\ 3 & -2 & 4 \end{bmatrix} + \begin{bmatrix} 8 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 8 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 8 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 9 & -2 & 2 \\ 0 & 10 & -3 \\ 3 & -2 & 12 \end{bmatrix} \]

Final Answer: (C)
