Relating two similar matrices

Algebra Level pending

Two n × n n \times n matrices Q 1 Q_1 and Q 2 Q_2 are diagonalizable and have the same eigenvalues, thus they are said to be similar , and there exists a matrix A A such that

Q 2 = A 1 Q 1 A Q_2 = A^{-1} Q_1 A

Suppose Q 2 = A 1 1 Q 1 A 1 = A 2 1 Q 1 A 2 Q_2 = {A_1}^{-1} Q_1 A_1 = {A_2}^{-1} Q_1 A_2 , is it true that A 2 A_2 must be a (non-zero) multiple of A 1 A_1 ?

Yes. No.
