GATE:linear Algebra SAMPLE QUESTIONS

The document contains a set of 50 multiple choice questions related to linear algebra concepts such as matrices, eigenvectors, eigenvalues, linear transformations, and vector spaces. It also provides the answers to each question. Some key highlights include: - Questions cover topics such as matrix properties, rank, diagonalizability, nilpotency, invariant subspaces, kernels and images of linear transformations, and vector space bases. - The answers show that questions test understanding of when matrices are diagonalizable versus nilpotent, properties of eigenvectors and eigenvalues, dimensions of vector spaces and subspaces, and characterizations of linear transformations. - Providing both the questions and answers allows the document to serve as a self-assessment tool
