1. Obtain the eigen values of the matrix

$$A=\begin {bmatrix} 1 & 2 & 34 & 49 \\ 0 & 2 & 43 & 94 \\ 0 & 0 & -2 & 104 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & -1 \end{bmatrix}$$

$5(a)$ the eigen value for upper triangular/lower triangular/diagonal matrices are the diagonal elements of the matrix

we know for triangular/diagonal the determeinant is product of principal diagonal elements so in A-(lambda)I every value of lambda as any of of the principal diagonal elements will give result as 0. so all the diagonal principal diagonal elements are eigen values.
$A=\begin{bmatrix} 1& 2 &34 &49\\ 0& 2&43 &94\\ 0& 0 & -2&104\\ 0& 0& 0&-1 \end{bmatrix}$

$|A-\lambda I |=0$

$\begin{vmatrix} 1-\lambda& 2 &34 &49\\ 0& 2-\lambda&43 &94\\ 0& 0 & -2-\lambda&104\\ 0& 0& 0&-1-\lambda \end{vmatrix}=0$

$( 1-\lambda)( 2-\lambda)( -2-\lambda)(-1-\lambda)=0$

$\lambda=1\ ,\ -1\ ,\ 2 \ , \ -2$
Eigen value $lambda$=1,-1,2,-2 A-$lambda$I=0 just solve it and for the 2nd question i think building a truth table is a naive way of answering it if any1 has better solution then plz reply
