  1. A diagonal matrix
  2. B symmetric matrix
  3. C skew symmetric matrix
  4. D scalar matrix
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) skew symmetric matrix

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(A^T = \begin{bmatrix} 0 & 5 & -8 \\ -5 & 0 & -12 \\ 8 & 12 & 0 \end{bmatrix}\) \(-A^T = \begin{bmatrix} 0 & -5 & 8 \\ 5 & 0 & 12 \\ -8 & -12 & 0 \end{bmatrix}\) Since \(A = -A^T\), the matrix is a skew symmetric matrix.
