Question

Two n × n invertible real matrices A and B satisfy the relation 

(AB)T = -(A-1B)-1

If B is orthogonal then A must be


A.

lower triangular

B.

orthogonal

C.

symmetric

D.

antisymmetric

Correct option is D

Concept:

  • A symmetric matrix is given as A = AT.
  • A skew-symmetric matrix is given as A = -AT.

 

Solution:

It is given that is an orthogonal matrix. 

B-1 = BT

Now, 

Applying the orthogonality for matrix B.
AT = −A
The  matrix is anti-symmetric matrix.
