Match List-I with List-II

List-IList-II
(A) If A=[aij]n×nA = [a_{ij}]_{n \times n}, where aij={0,i≠jk,i=j,k≠0a_{ij} = \begin{cases}0, & i \ne j \\ k, & i=j, k\ne 0\end{cases} then A is ___(I) Symmetric matrix
(B) If A=[aij]2×2A = [a_{ij}]_{2\times 2}, where aij={1,i≠j0,i=ja_{ij} = \begin{cases}1, & i \ne j \\ 0, & i=j\end{cases}, then A2A^2 is ___(II) Skew-Symmetric matrix
(C) If A and B are matrices of the same order, then (ABT−BAT)(AB^T - BA^T) is ___(III) Identity matrix
(D) If A and B are symmetric matrices of the same order, then (AB+BA)(AB+BA) is ___(IV) Scalar matrix

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 4

(A) Equal non-zero diagonal entries with zeros elsewhere is a scalar matrix, so (IV).

(B) A=[0110]A=\begin{bmatrix}0&1\\1&0\end{bmatrix} gives A2=IA^2=I, so (III).

(C) (ABT−BAT)T=BAT−ABT=−(ABT−BAT)(AB^T-BA^T)^T=BA^T-AB^T=-(AB^T-BA^T), skew-symmetric, so (II).

(D) (AB+BA)T=BTAT+ATBT=BA+AB(AB+BA)^T=B^TA^T+A^TB^T=BA+AB, symmetric, so (I).
