If $ A$ is a square matrix, then which of the following matrices is not symmetric
A
$A + A'$
B
$AA'$
C
$A'A$
D
$A - A'$
Solution
(d) Since ${A_{21}} = 1$, so it is symmetric.
$(AA')' = (A')'A' = AA'$, so it is symmetric.
$(A'A)' = A'(A')' = A'A$, so it is symmetric.
But $(A – A')' = A' – A \ne A – A'$. Hence it is not symmetric.
