If \(A=\left[a_{i j}\right]_{3 \times 3}\), where \(a_{i j}=\frac{(-1)^{i+j}-1, i=j}{(-1)^{i+j}, i \neq j}\) then the value of \(A+A^T\) is:

  1. A \(A+I\), where \(I\) is the identity matrix of order 3 .
  2. B \(A-I\), where \(I\) is the identity matrix of order 3 .
  3. C \(2A\)
  4. D \(3 A\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(2A\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

If \(i=j\), \(a_{i j}=(-1)^{i+j}-1\). If \(i \neq j\), \(a_{i j}=(-1)^{i+j}\). \(A=\begin{bmatrix} 0 & -1 & 1 \\ -1 & 0 & -1 \\ 1 & -1 & 0 \end{bmatrix}\) \(A^T=\begin{bmatrix} 0 & -1 & 1 \\ -1 & 0 & -1 \\ 1 & -1 & 0 \end{bmatrix}\)…
