Write a `x2x`matrix which is both symmetricand skew-symmetric.

Answer» For a symmetric matrix `A` with transpose `A^T`,
`A= A^T->(1)`
For a skew-symmetric matrix `A`,
`A= -A^T->(2)`
Adding (1) and (2),
`2A = 0`
`=>A = 0`
So, matrix `A` will have all elements as `0`.
`:. A = [[0,0],[0,0]]` is a matrix that is both symmetric and skew-symmetric.
