MCQ
Which one of the following statements is not true:
  • A
    A scalar matrix is a square matrix
  • B
    A diagonal matrix is a square matrix
  • C
    A scalar matrix is a diagonal matrix
  • A diagonal matrix is a scalar matrix

Answer

Correct option: D.
A diagonal matrix is a scalar matrix
Option $A$ and Option $C$ and option $B -$ true $A$ scalar matrix is a diagonal matrix and every diagonal matrix is a square matrix Hence every scalar matrix is also square matrix Option $D -$ not trueEvery diagonal matrix is square matrix but not vice versa
