Past exam of the groups and representations course of the University of Oxford / 2023 / 2 / d / Solution

Only the character ${\chi }_2$ of the two-dimensional irreducible representation remains unknown. Write it as $(2,a,b,c,d)$. The regular representation has character zero off the identity and decomposes with multiplicities equal to the irreducible representation dimensions. Thus, for a nonidentity element $g$,For the four nonidentity conjugacy classes this gives $a=0$, $b=2$, $c=-1$, $d=0$. The complete character table is consequentlyFor example, $⟨{\chi }_2,{\chi }_2⟩=(4+12+8)/24=1$, agreeing with character orthogonality.
