Which of the following matrices is symmetric as well as skew-symmetric?

  1. A Identity matrix of order m × m
  2. B Row matrix
  3. C Column matrix
  4. D Null matrix of order m × m
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) Null matrix of order m × m

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

If a matrix A is symmetric, then \( A = A^T \). If a matrix A is skew-symmetric, then \( A = -A^T \). For a matrix to be both: \( A = -A \). \( 2A = 0 \). \( A = 0 \). The matrix must be a Null matrix.
