    If A is a symmetric matrix and \[n\in N\], then \[{{A}^{n}}\]is

    A) Symmetric

    B) Skew symmetric

    C) A Diagonal matrix

    D) None of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Since A is symmetric, therefore\[{{A}^{T}}=A\]. Now \[{{({{A}^{n}})}^{T}}={{({{A}^{T}})}^{n}}={{(A)}^{n}}\] \[\therefore \]  \[{{A}^{n}}\] is also a symmetric matrix.
