If A is a square matrix, then A A is a (...

If `A` is a square matrix, then `A A` is a (a) skew-symmetric matrix (b) symmetric matrix (c) diagonal matrix (d) none of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Given:` A` is a square matrix
Let `A=[(1,2),(1,0)]`
Then
`A``A=[(1,2),(1,0)][(1,2),(1,0)]`
`A``A=[(3,2),(1,2)]`
Hence correct option is (d)
