Which of the following statement is/are correct?
(A) A square matrix \(A=\left[a_{i j}\right]\) is called a symmetric matrix if \(a_{i j}=a_{j i}\) for all \(i, j\).
(B) \(A=\left[a_{i j}\right]_{m \times m}\) is a diagonal matrix if \(a_{i j}=0\) when \(i=j\).
(C) A square matrix \(A=\left[a_{i j}\right]\) is called a skew symmetric matrix if \(a_{i j}=-a_{j i}\) for all \(i, j\).
(D) The multiplication of diagonal matrices of same order is commutative.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

  1. A (A), (B) and (C) only
  2. B (B), (C) and (D) only
  3. C (A), (C) and (D) only
  4. D (C) and (D) only
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) (A), (C) and (D) only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(A) is correct as it is the definition of a symmetric matrix. (B) is incorrect. A diagonal matrix has \(a_{i j}=0\) when \(i \neq j\). (C) is correct as it is the definition of a skew symmetric matrix. (D) is correct. If \(A=\text{diag}(a_1, ..., a_n)\) and…
