If the determinant of a 3^ rd order matrix A is K , then the sum of the determinants of the matrices (A A^T ) and (A-A^T ) is
Options
- A2K
- B0
- CK ^2
- DK
Correct answer
C. K ^2
Step-by-step solution
Given, A is 3 3 matrix and | A |= k Now, A - A ^ T is always a skew symmetric matrix of order 3 So, | A - A ^ T |=0 and | AA ^ T |=| A | | A ^ T |= K K = K ^2 So, | AA ^ T |+ | A - A ^ T |= O + K ^2= K ^2
