Sum of two skew-symmetric matrices is al...

Sum of two skew-symmetric matrices is always ......... Matrix.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Let A is a given matrix, then (-A) is a skew symmetric matrix Similarly, for a given matrix -B is a skew -symmetric matrix.
Hence -A-B=-(A+B)`rArr` sum of two skew symmetric matrices is always skew symmetric m atrix.
