MCQ
If $A$ is a square matrix, then $A-A^{\prime}$ is a
  • A
    diagonal matrix
  • skew-symmetric matrix
  • C
    symmetric matrix
  • D
    none of these

Answer

Correct option: B.
skew-symmetric matrix
(b) : As $\left(A-A^{\prime}\right)^{\prime}=A^{\prime}-\left(A^{\prime}\right)^{\prime}=A^{\prime}-A=-\left(A-A^{\prime}\right)$, therefore, $A-A^{\prime}$ is a skew-symmetric matrix.
