If A is symmetric as well as skew-symmetric matrix, then A isA. diagonal matrixB. null matrixC. triangular materixD. none of these |
Answer» Correct Answer - B Let `A=[a_("ij")]`. Since a is skew-symmetric, we have `a_(ii)=0` and `a_("ij")=-a_("ij") (i ne j)` A is symmetric as well, so `a_("ij")=a_("ji")` for all `i` and `j`. `:. A_("ij")=0` for all `i ne j` Hence, `a_("ij")=0` for all `i` and `j`, i.e., A is a null matrix. |
