As we have learned

Property of adjoint of A -

\left | adj A \right |=\left | A \right |^{n-1}  

- wherein

adj A denotes adjoint of A and  \left |A \right |  denotes determinant  of A and n is the order of the matrix

 

|adj \; \; A| = |A|^{3-1}

\Rightarrow |adj \; \; A| =4^2=16

\Rightarrow 0-\alpha (-2)+3(-2)=16

\Rightarrow 2\alpha -6 = 16

\Rightarrow \alpha = 11
