Solution
From equation (1) $\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{C}^2=\mathrm{A}^{-1} \cdot \mathrm{A} \cdot \mathrm{B} \\ & \mathrm{C}^2=\mathrm{B} \end{aligned}$ $\begin{aligned} & \text { Also } \mathrm{AB}^{-1}=\mathrm{A}^{-1} \\ & \Rightarrow \mathrm{AB}^{-1} \cdot \mathrm{A}=\mathrm{A}^{-1} \mathrm{~A}=\mathrm{I} \\ & \Rightarrow \mathrm{A}^{-1}\left(\mathrm{AB}^{-1} \mathrm{~A}\right)=\mathrm{A}^{-1} \mathrm{I} \\ & \mathrm{B}^{-1} \mathrm{~A}=\mathrm{A}^{-1} \end{aligned}$
Now characteristics equation of $\mathrm{C}^2$ is $\begin{aligned} & \left|C_2-\lambda I\right|=0 \\ & |B-\lambda I|=0 \end{aligned}$ $\begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow\left|\begin{array}{cc}1-\lambda & 3 \\ 1 & 5-\lambda\end{array}\right|=0 \\ & \Rightarrow(1-\lambda)(5-1)-3=0 \Rightarrow\left(\lambda^2-6 \lambda+5\right)-3=0 \\ & \Rightarrow \lambda^2-6 \lambda+2=0 \\ & \Rightarrow \beta^2-6 \mathrm{~B}+2 \mathrm{I}=0 \\ & \Rightarrow \mathrm{C}^4-6 \mathrm{C}^2+2 \mathrm{I}=0 \\ & \alpha=-6 \\ & \beta=2 \\ & \therefore 2 \beta-\alpha=4+6=10\end{aligned}$
