Let

A, B, C

3 \times 3

matrices such that

A

is symmetric and

B

and

C

are skew-symmetric.

Consider the statements

(S1)

A^{13} B^{26}-B^{26} A^{13}

is symmetric

(S2)

A^{26} C^{13}-C^{13} A^{26}

is symmetric
Then,

View answer and explanation

Correct option: B

Only S2 is true

Option B (Only S2 is true) is correct because only

A^{26} C^{13}-C^{13} A^{26}

is symmetric, while

A^{13} B^{26}-B^{26} A^{13}

is skew-symmetric.
