- A4094
- B2050
- C6144
- D4097
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: D
- We need the sum of diagonal elements of , i.e. the trace of .
Given
so
- Observe that is block diagonal in the form
Hence,
Therefore,
- Now find eigenvalues of .
Characteristic polynomial:
Expanding,
So,
Thus the eigenvalues of are and .
- Therefore the eigenvalues of are and , so
- Hence,
- So the required sum of diagonal elements is
- Checking options:
- A: ❌
- B: ❌
- C: ❌
- D: ✅
Thus the correct option is D.
