If A and B are symmetric matrices of same order, then which of the following are correct?
(A) AB-BA is a skew-symmetric matrix.
(B) \(AB + BA\) is a skew-symmetric matrix.
(C) \(A B^T-B A^T\) is a skew-symmetric matrix.
(D) \(AB + BA\) is a symmetric matrix.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below :
- A (A), (C) and (D) only
- B (A), (B) and (C) only
- C (C) and (D) only
- D (A) and (D) only
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) (A), (C) and (D) only
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(A^T = A\) \(B^T = B\) For (A): \((AB-BA)^T = (AB)^T - (BA)^T = B^T A^T - A^T B^T = BA - AB = -(AB - BA)\) \(\Rightarrow\) AB-BA is a skew-symmetric matrix. (A) is correct. For (C): \(A B^T-B A^T = AB-BA\) From (A), \(AB-BA\) is a skew-symmetric matrix. (C) is correct. For (D):…
