  1. A 1, 3, 6
  2. B \(1,2,4\)
  3. C \(4,5,6\)
  4. D \(2,4,6\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 1, 3, 6

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We have, \[ A=\left[\begin{array}{lll} 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 2 & 3 & 0 \\ 4 & 5 & 6 \end{array}\right] \] which is a lower triangular matrix. Since, characteristic roots of a lower triangular matrix are its diagonal elements. So, charateristics roots of \(A\) are \(1,3,6\).
