MCQ

If $\displaystyle \text{a}_{\text{ij}}=0\left (\text{i}\neq \text{j} \right )$ and $\displaystyle\text{a}_{\text{ij}}=2\left (\text{i= j} \right )$ then the matrix $\text{A}=\displaystyle \left [ \text{a}_{\text{ij}} \right ]_{\text{n}\times\text{n}}$ is a _______ matrix ?

A
unit
B
null
✓
scalar
D
skew symmetric

✓

Answer

Correct option: C.

scalar

Given A is a square matrix as the number of rows and columns are same as n

The elements $\text{a}_\text{ij}$ where $\text{i} = \text{j} $ lie along the diagonal.

and the elements $\text{a}_\text{ij}$ where $\text{i}\neq\text{j}$ do not lie along the diagonal.

Given, diagonal elements = 2 and the rest of the elements = 0

Such a diagonal matrix where all diagonal elements are equal, is called a scalar matrix.
