If A and B are symmetric matrices of the same order, then which one of the following is true?
- A A + B is a skew-symmetric matrix
- B A - B is skew-symmetric matrix.
- C AB - BA is a symmetric matrix
- D AB + BA is a symmetric matrix.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) AB + BA is a symmetric matrix.
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Given \( A^T = A \) and \( B^T = B \). \( (AB+BA)^T = (AB)^T + (BA)^T \) \( = B^T A^T + A^T B^T \) \( = BA + AB \) \( = AB + BA \) Therefore, \( AB+BA \) is a symmetric matrix.

Alcohols and phenols are formed when a hydrogen atom in a hydrocarbon, aliphatic and aromatic respectively is replaced by -OH group. These are further classified on the basis of number of hydroxy groups and according to the hybridization of the carbon atom \(sp ^2\) or \(sp ^3\) to which the -OH group is attached. They find applications in industry as well as in day-to-day life. One of the most commercially obtained alcohol also known as wood spirit is obtained by destructive distillation of wood. Both alcohols and phenols are acidic in nature. The acidity of alcohols and phenols vary according to the nature of substituent(s) attached to them. Alcohols and phenols react with carboxylic acids, acid chlorides and acid anhydrides to form esters. Introduction of acetyl group in alcohols and phenols is called acetylation. Phenol undergo electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction because the -OH activates the benzene ring. It undergoes nitration, halogenation and sulphonation reactions.
