The difference of two different skew-symmetric matrices is :

  1. A Null matrix
  2. B Identity matrix
  3. C Symmetric matrix
  4. D Skew-symmetric matrix
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) Skew-symmetric matrix

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let A and B be skew-symmetric matrices. \(A^T = -A\) \(B^T = -B\) \((A - B)^T = A^T - B^T\) \(= (-A) - (-B)\) \(= -A + B\) \(= -(A - B)\) Therefore, the difference of two skew-symmetric matrices is a skew-symmetric matrix.
