For λ = 1
⎛ 2 −1 1 ⎞ ⎛ x ⎞ ⎛ 0 ⎞
⎜ ⎟ ⎜ ⎟ = ⎜ ⎟ gives

Thus x + y = 0 ⇒ x = − y . Taking x = 1 , the eigenvector associated with λ = 1 is

For λ = 3

Q5. A semicircular piece of paper is folded to make a cone with the centre of the semicircle
as the apex. The half-angle of the resulting cone would be:
(a) 90o (b) 60o (c) 45o (d) 30o
Ans. : (d)
Solution: When the semicircular piece of paper is folded to make a cone, the circumference of
base is equal to the circumference of the original semicircle. Let r be the radius of the
base of the core and R be the radius of the semicircle.
R
Hence, 2π r = π R ⇒ r = .

The stay height of the come will also be R . R
R/2 1 α R
Hence, sin α = =
