Question

If A and B are matrices of the same order, then ABT − BAT is a 

Options

  •  skew symmetric matrix 

  • null matrix

  • unit matrix

  • symmetric matrix

Solution

(ABT − BAT)T = (ABT)T − (BAT)

BAT − ABT

= −(ABT − BAT)

Therefore, ABT − BAT is a skew-symmetric matrix.

Hence, the correct option is (a).

Disclaimer: There is a misprint in the question. It should be BAinstead of BTA.
