A'=αA+I

A=αA'+I           AI=αA'     ...(1)

A=α(αA+I)+I   (1α2)A=(1+α)I α1A=I1α  

|A2A|=4|A|  |AI|=4


From  eq. (1)

|A|  |αA'|=4 1(1α)2  ×  α2(1α)2=4

α(1α)2=±2   

α=+2(1α)2,   α=2(1α)2
   α=2(1α)22α25α+2=0   , 2α23α+2=0 α=2,  12          

  α=+2(1α)2,    Imaginary roots 

   Sum of all possible values of α=2+12=52
