Question.

Reason: For any square matrix, A (A^T)^T = A

Question.

then B is the inverse of A.
Reason : If A is a square matrix of order m and if there exists another square matrix B of the same order m, such that AB = BA = I, then B is called the inverse of A.

Reason : The No. of ways of expressing 32 as a product of two positive integers is 6.

Question.

Reason : A is not a square matrix.

Question.

Reason: A = [a_ij] is a square matrix such that a_ij = 0, ∀ i ≠ j, then A is called diagonal matrix.

Question. Assertion : The order of the matrix A is 3 × 5 and that of B is 2 × 3. Then the matrix AB is not possible.
Reason : No. of columns in A is not equal to no. of rows in B.

Question.

Reason : For the given matrix A we have A’ = A.

Question. For any square matrix A with real number entries, consider the following statements.
Assertion : A + A’ is a symmetric matrix.
Reason: A –A’ is a skew-symmetric matrix.
