JEE Main 2011 — Mathematics Algebra
Let A and B be two symmetric matrices of order 3 . This question has Statement −1 and Statement −2. Of the four choices given after the statements, choose the one that best describes the two statements. Statement −1 : A(BA) and (AB)A are symmetric matrices. Statement - 2 : AB is symmetric matrix if matrix multiplication of A and B is commutative.
