The Eigen values of a matrix are the roots of its characteristic equation.
The largest eigen value of the matrix
is
IIT JAM 2016 Problem Number 13
Finding the largest eigen value of a matrix

Higher Algebra : S K Mapa
In order to find the largest eigen value of the given matrix we have to find all the eigen values of the given matrix, then we can find the largest among them. Now it is very easy to find the eigen values. Give it a try!!!
Now the process of rank starts with finding the characteristics polynomial of the given matrix, i.e., . We have to find the value of this
which is the eigen value. Now it is very easy to find the determinant of
. Try to cook this up.
So, now let's do some calculation.
Now we are half way done just our calculation part remains.
Therefore
So from here we can clearly see
is the largest among all the eigen values.
