A) symmetric
B) skew symmetric
C) cant say
D) None of these
Correct Answer: B
Solution :
Since, A is skew symmetric matrix \[\therefore \] \[{{A}^{T}}=-A\] Now,\[{{({{B}^{T}}AB)}^{T}}={{B}^{T}}{{A}^{T}}{{({{B}^{T}})}^{T}}\](By reversal law) \[={{B}^{T}}{{A}^{T}}B\] \[[\because {{({{B}^{T}})}^{T}}=B]\] \[={{B}^{T}}(-A)B\] \[=-{{B}^{T}}AB\] \[(\because {{A}^{T}}=-A)\] Hence,\[{{B}^{T}}AB\]is skew symmetric matrix.You need to login to perform this action.
