I do not understand how if det(A) comes out to be a complex number then the eigenvalues will still be real?

I think you are confusing adjugate from adjoint of a matrix. In this context, it refers to the conjugate transpose.

Guide:

A possible way to solve the problem is to consider the SVD of $A$, compute $A^*$ and then compute $AA^*$ and $A^*A$.
