Question 1 Explanation: 
We know, cholesky decomposition,
A=LL^{T}
Where, L= lower tringular matrix
\left[\begin{array}{ll}a_{11} & a_{12} \\ a_{21} & a_{22}\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{cc}L_{11} & 0 \\ L_{21} & L_{22}\end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{cc}\mathrm{L}_{11} & L_{21} \\ 0 & L_{22}\end{array}\right]

\left[\begin{array}{cc}8 & -5 \\ -5 & \mathrm{a}_{22}\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{cc}\mathrm{L}_{11}^{2} & \mathrm{~L}_{11} \mathrm{~L}_{21} \\ \mathrm{~L}_{11} \mathrm{~L}_{21} & \mathrm{~L}_{21}^{2}+\mathrm{L}_{22}^{2}\end{array}\right]
On comparison on both sides,
\mathrm{L}_{11}=\sqrt{8}=2 \sqrt{2}
and,\;\; L_{11} L_{21}=-5
\mathrm{L}_{21}=\frac{-5}{2 \sqrt{2}}
and,\;\; a_{22}=L_{21}^{2}+L_{22}^{2}
=\left(\frac{-5}{2 \sqrt{2}}\right)^{2}+1.968^{2}
=6.998 \approx 7
Question 2
For the matrix
[A]=\left[\begin{array}{ccc} 1 & -1 & 0 \\ -1 & 2 & -1 \\ 0 & -1 & 1 \end{array}\right]
which of the following statements is/are TRUE?
A
[A]\{X\}=\{b\} has a unique solution
B
[A]\{X\}=\{b\} does not have a unique solution
C
[A] has three linearly independent eigenvectors
D
[\mathrm{A}] is a positive definite matrix

Question 2 Explanation: 
|A|=\left|\begin{array}{ccc}1 & -1 & 0 \\ -1 & 2 & -1 \\ 0 & -1 & 1\end{array}\right|
=1(2-1)+1(-1)+0
=1-1=0

So A X=B does not have unique solution because \rho(A) \lt 3
|A-\lambda|=0 \Rightarrow\left|\begin{array}{ccc}1-\lambda & -1 & 0 \\ -1 & 2-\lambda & -1 \\ 0 & -1 & 1-\lambda\end{array}\right|=0
(1-\lambda)((2-\lambda)(1-\lambda)-1)+1(-1+\lambda)+0=0
(1-\lambda)\left(\lambda^{2}-3 \lambda+1\right)-1+\lambda=0
(1-\lambda)\left(\lambda^{2}-3 \lambda+1-1\right)=0
(\lambda-1)\left(\lambda^{2}-3 \lambda\right)=0
\lambda=0,1,3

Matrix A has three distinct Eigen values so have three linearly independent eigen vectors. so option (C) is correct.
Given matrix is symmetric matrix with real value entries. Hence A is not a positive definite matrix. because
|1|=1 \gt 0
\left|\begin{array}{cc}1 & -1 \\ -1 & 2\end{array}\right|=2-1=1>0
\left|\begin{array}{ccc}1 & -1 & 0 \\ -1 & 2 & -1 \\ 0 & -1 & 1\end{array}\right|=0 (which is not positive)
Hence option (D) is incorrect.


Question 3
For the matrix
[A]=\left[\begin{array}{lll} 1 & 2 & 3 \\ 3 & 2 & 1 \\ 3 & 1 & 2 \end{array}\right]
Which of the following statements is/are TRUE?
A
The eigenvalues of [A]^T are same as the eigenvalues of [A]
B
The eigenvalues of [A]^{-1}are the reciprocals of the eigenvalues of [A]
C
The eigenvectors of [A]^T are same as the eigenvectors of [A]
D
The eigenvectors of [A]^{-1} are same as the eigenvectors of [A]

Question 3 Explanation: 
A x=\lambda x \ldots (i)
A^{T} x=\lambda x \ldots (ii)
A and A^T both have same eigen values and eigen vectors.
A x=\lambda x \ldots(i)
\Rightarrow \quad A^{-1} A x=A^{-1}(\lambda x)=\lambda A^{-1} x
\Rightarrow \quad x=\lambda A^{-1} x
A^{-1} x=\frac{1}{\lambda} x
So, eigen value and eigen vector of A^{-1} is \frac{1}{\lambda} x and \mathrm{x}.
Question 4
The state equation of a second order system is

\dot{x}(t)=A x(t), x(0) is the initial condition.

Suppose \lambda_{1} and \lambda_{2} are two distinct eigenvalues of A and v_{1} and v_{2} are the corresponding eigenvectors. For constants \alpha_{1} and \alpha_{2}, the solution, x(t), of the state equation is
A
\sum_{i=1}^{2} \alpha_{i} e^{\lambda_{i} t} v_{i}
B
\sum_{i=1}^{2} \alpha_{i} e^{2 \lambda_{i} t} v_{i}
C
\sum_{i=1}^{2} \alpha_{i} e^{3 \lambda_{i} t} v_{i}
D
\sum_{i=1}^{2} \alpha_{i} e^{4 \lambda_{i} t} v_{i}

B

Question 5 Explanation: 
Given,
l=\sqrt{x^{T} x}, P=\left(x x^{T}\right)_{n \times n}

Let
