Given,
A be a 2 x 2 matrix with real entries such that A' =
A + 1,
Now let 
Now putting the value in A' =
A + I we get,

Now equating both side we get,
.........(i)
b =
c .... (ii) and c =
b........(iii)
Now from equation (ii) & (iii) we get,
c = 0 or
= ±l (not possible as mentioned in question)
c = 0
c = 0, b = 0
Also d = ad+l
d= 
Also given, |A 2 – A|= 4


Now let 
So,t 2 (t-1) 2 = 4
t(t-1)=±2
t = 2 or t = -1

So, sum of all possible value will be
