If the eigen values of a square matrix be 1, - 2 and 3, then the eigen values of the matrix 3A are
  • a)
    1, - 2, 3
  • b)
    3, - 6, 9
  • c)
    1/3, - 2/3, 1
  • d)
    none of these
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Eigenvalues of a matrix and scalar multiplication

Given matrix A has eigenvalues 1, -2, and 3

We need to find the eigenvalues of the matrix 3A

To find the eigenvalues of 3A, we need to use the following formula:

If λ is an eigenvalue of A, then kλ is an eigenvalue of kA, where k is a scalar.

Therefore, the eigenvalues of 3A will be:
