MCQ
Choose the correct answer from the given four options.
If $A$ and $B$ are matrices of same order, then $(AB\ ' – BA\ ')$ is a :
  • Skew symmetric matrix.
  • B
    Null matrix.
  • C
    Symmetric matrix.
  • D
    Unit matrix.

Answer

Correct option: A.
Skew symmetric matrix.
We have matrices $A$ and $B$ of same order.
Let $P = (AB\ ' - BA\ ')$
Then, $P\ ' = (AB\ ' - BA\ ')'$
$= (AB\ ')' - (BA\ ')'$
$= (B\ ')'(A)\ ' - (A\ ')'B\ ' $
$= BA\ ' - AB\ ' = -(AB\ ' - BA\ ') = -P$
Hence, $(AB\ ' - BA\ ')$ is a Skew symmetric matrix.
