length L = 1.0 m. It is suspended from a fixed point at height H = 0.9 m above a

Carbocation is a group of atoms with positively charged carbon atom having six
electrons in the velence shell after sharing. Carbocations are formed in the heterolysis
of a bond and are planar species. Stability of carbocation is determined by inductive
effect, hyperconjugation and resonance effect. Greater the number of contributing
structures, more is the stability of a carbocation. Electron releasing groups (+1 effect)
increases the stability of a carbocation whereas the electron withdrawing groups (-1
effect) have an opposite effect

Question Stem for Question Nos. 45 and 46:
For any square matrix A of order n  n, A  xI  0 is known as its characteristic
equation & its roots are called characteristic roots. It can be observed that

1) Sum of characteristic roots = sum of diagonal elements of A.

2) Product of characteristic roots = A (where A denotes determinant value of matrix

A)

Cayley Hamilton theorem states that every square matrix satisfies its characteristic
equation.
