उत्तर

A is a zero matrix 

\[A = \left[ a_{ij} \right]\] be a matrix which is both symmetric and skew-symmetric.

If \[A = \left[ a_{ij} \right]\]  is a symmetric matrix, then

\[a_{ij} = a_{ji}\]  for all i, j          ............(1)

If \[A = \left[ a_{ij} \right]\] is a  skew-symmetric matrix, then

\[a_{ij} = - a_{ji}\] 

\[\Rightarrow a_{ji} = - a_{ij}\] for all i,j            ............(2)

From eqs. (1) and (2), we have

\[a_{ij} = - a_{ij} \]

\[ \Rightarrow a_{ij} + a_{ij} = 0 \]

\[ \Rightarrow 2 a_{ij} = 0 \]

\[ \Rightarrow a_{ij} = 0 \]

\[ \therefore A = \left[ a_{ij} \right] \text{is a zero matrix or null matrix} . \]

\[\]
