View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is true; Statement-2 is not a correct explanation for Statement-1
Statement-1 is true because A(BA) and (AB)A are symmetric matrices due to the associative property and symmetry of A and B. Statement-2 is also true because if AB = BA, then AB is symmetric. However, statement-2 is not a correct explanation for statement-1.
