Let matrix \(A=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}5 & -3 & 0 \\ -3 & 5 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 2\end{array}\right], X\) be a non zero matrix of order \(3 \times 1\) and \(c\) be a real number. If \(A^2 X=c A X\), then the number of distinct values of \(c\) is

  1. A 3
  2. B 2
  3. C 1
  4. D 0
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 2

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, \[ \begin{aligned} A^2 x & =c A x \rightarrow A \\ A x & =\mathcal{c} \end{aligned} \] \(A x \rightarrow c\) is eigen value of \(A\). \(\therefore\) Eigen value of \(A\) are \(8,2,2\) Therefore, number of values of \(c\) is 2 .
