Assertion [A]: Matrix  is a symmetric matrix.

Reason [R]: A matrix A is symmetric if \[A'=-A\].

A) Both A and R are individually true and R is the correct explanation of A.

B) Both A and R are individually true and R is not the correct explanation of A.

C) 'A' is true but 'R' is false

D) 'A' is false but 'R' is true

E) Both A and R are false.

Correct Answer: C

Solution :

\[\Rightarrow \] A is a symmetric matrix \[\therefore \] Given Assertion [A] is true We know that A matrix A is symmetric if A' = A \[\Rightarrow \] Given Reason is false A is true but R is false Hence option [C] is the correct answer.
