Question 976 – Engineering-Mathematics

Two eigenvalues of a 3X3 real matrix P are (2+​ √ ​ -1) and 3. The determinant of P is___

Correct Answer: C

Question 656 Explanation: 
If an eigenvalue of a matrix is a complex number, then there will be other eigenvalue, which is conjugate of the complex eigenvalue.
So, For the given 3×3 matrix there would be 3 eigenvalues.
Given eigenvalues are : 2+i and 3.
So the third eigenvalue should be 2-i.
As per the theorems, the determinant of the matrix is the product of the eigenvalues. So the determinant is (2+i)*(2-i)*3 = 15.
