Question 8042 – GATE 2016 [Set-1]

Two eigenvalues of a 3 × 3 real matrix P are (2 + √-1) and 3. The determinant of P is __________.

Correct Answer: B

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