Write a `2xx2` matrix which is both symmetric and skew-symmetric.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

As we know for a symmetric matrix `A^T=A`
And for a skew -symmetric matrix `A^T=-A`
Hence, if a matrix is both symmetric and skew-symmetric, then
`A=−A`
`2A=O`
`A=O`
Therefore, a 2×2 matrix which is both symmetric and skew-symmetric is null matrix i.e
`[(0,0),(0,0)]`
