Answer

20 forms

Work Step by Step

Given: $(A-5I)^2=0$ for a matrix $11 \times 11$ matrix $A$ has $\lambda =2$ with multiplicity $4$. Then there will be 5 possible Jordan block sizes. Where $\lambda =5$ with multiplicity $6$, there are 4 possible Jordan block sizes. $2,2,2\\ 2,2,1,1\\ 2,1,1,1,1\\ 1,1,1,1,1,1$ Hence, the number of Jordan canonical forms is: $5 \times 4=20$
