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

The DNA fragments can be separated by a technique known as gel electrophoresis. Since DNA fragments are negatively charged molecules, they can be separated by forcing them to move towards the anode under an electric field through a medium/matrix. The separated DNA fragments can be visualised only after staining the DNA with a compound known as ethidium bromide followed by exposure to UV radiation. The repeated amplification of DNA is achieved by the use of a thermostable DNA polymerase (isolated from a bacterium, Thermus aquaticus). After completion of the biosynthetic stage, the product has to be subjected through a series of processes before it is ready for marketing as a finished product. The downstream processing and quality control testing vary from product to product. The convention for naming restriction enzymes is the first letter of the name comes from the genus and the second two letters come from the species of the prokaryotic cell from which they were isolated.

Amines are classified as primary \(\left(1^{\circ}\right)\), secondary \(\left(2^{\circ}\right)\) and tertiary \(\left(3^{\circ}\right)\) depending upon the number of hydrogen atoms replaced by alkyl or aryl groups in ammonia molecules. Aliphatic amines are a stronger bases due to \(+I\) effect of an alkyl groups. Intermolecular hydrogen bonding in primary and secondary amines affects the boiling points of amines. The intermolecular association is more in primary amines than in secondary amines as there are more number of hydrogen atoms available for hydrogen bond formation. Nitro compounds are reduced to amines by passing hydrogen gas in the presence of finely divided nickel, palladium or platinum and also by reduction with metals in an acidic medium. Gabriel synthesis is used for the preparation of primary amines. Primary amines react with nitrous acid to give unstable diazonium-salts which can be used to synthesize a variety of compounds.
