Question 11: If A, B are symmetric matrices of same order, then AB – BA is a

(A) Skew symmetric matrix

(B) Symmetric matrix

(C) Zero matrix

(D) Identity matrix

Solution 11:

A and B are symmetric matrices,

A’ = A

B’ = B

(AB ‒ BA)’ = (AB)’ ‒ (BA)’ = B’A’ ‒ A’B’ = BA ‒ AB = ‒ (AB ‒ BA)

Therefore, AB ‒ BA is a skew-symmetric matrix.

The correct answer is A.
