If $A = \begin{bmatrix}1 & -1 \\ 2 & -1\end{bmatrix}$, $B = \begin{bmatrix}a & 1 \\ b & -1\end{bmatrix}$ and $(A + B)^2 = A^2 + B^2$ then

If A is a square matrix of order 3 and |A| = -5, then |3A| is equal to

Which of the following statement is/are correct?

(A) A square matrix $A = [a_{ij}]$ is called a symmetric matrix if $a_{ij} = a_{ji}$ for all $i, j$

(B) $A = [a_{ij}]_{m \times m}$ is a diagonal matrix if $a_{ij} = 0$ when $i = j$

(C) A square matrix $A = [a_{ij}]$ is called a skew symmetric matrix, if $a_{ij} = -a_{ji}$ for all $i, j$

(D) The multiplication of diagonal matrices of same order is commutative
