Q: Which of the following can be both a symmetric and skew-symmetric matrix ?

Question Analysis & Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

  1. A symmetric matrix is a square matrix that is equal to its transpose (A = AT).

  2. A skew-symmetric matrix is a square matrix whose transpose is equal to its negative (AT = -A).

  3. Let's consider a matrix that is both symmetric and skew-symmetric. If A is both, then A = AT and AT = -A. Therefore, A = -A.

  4. This implies that all elements of A must be zero (aij = -aij, which means aij = 0 for all i and j).

  5. Therefore, the matrix must be a null matrix.

Correct Answer: Null Matrix
