The matrix A=\(\begin{bmatrix}1&2\\2&1\end{bmatrix}\) is a ____________(a) symmetric matrix(b) skew-symmetric matrix(c) null matrix(d) diagonal matrixThis question was addressed to me in class test.This question is from Symmetric and Skew Symmetric Matrices in division Matrices of Mathematics – Class 12

Answer»

Correct choice is (a) SYMMETRIC MATRIX

To explain I would say: GIVEN that, A=\(\begin{bmatrix}1&2\\2&1\end{bmatrix}\)

⇒ A’=\(\begin{bmatrix}1&2\\2&1\end{bmatrix}\)

i.e.A=A’. HENCE, it is a symmetric matrix.
