3. Show that a matrix which is both symmetric and skew-symmetric is
a null matrix For a null matrix all the elements are zeroes
CBSE 2020

Let 𝑨 = 𝒂𝒊𝒋 be the matrix which is both symmetric and skew-symmetric

𝑨 = 𝒂𝒊𝒋 is a symmetric matrix ⟹ 𝒂𝒊𝒋 = 𝒂𝒋𝒊 for all 𝒊 , 𝒋


𝑨 = 𝒂𝒊𝒋 is a skew symmetric matrix
⟹ 𝒂𝒊𝒋 = −𝒂𝒋𝒊 for all 𝒊 , 𝒋
𝒂𝒊𝒋 = 𝒂𝒋𝒊 ; 𝒂𝒋𝒊 = −𝒂𝒊𝒋 ⟹ 𝒂𝒊𝒋 = −𝒂𝒊𝒋 ⟹ 𝟐𝒂𝒊𝒋 = 𝟎

𝒂𝒊𝒋 = 𝟎 for all 𝒊 , 𝒋 𝑨 = 𝒂𝒊𝒋 is a Null Matrix
