Statement I: A matrix $A = {(a_{i j})}_{3 \times 3}$ such that $a_{i j} = \frac{i - j}{\hat{i} + 2 \hat{j}}$ cannot be expressed as sum of symmetric and skew symmetric matrix
Statement 2: A matrix = ${(a_{i j})}_{3 \times 3}$ such that $a_{i j} = \frac{i - j}{\hat{i} + 2 \hat{j}}$ neither symmetric (nor) skew symmetric

Detailed Solution

$A = (a_{i j}) = \frac{i - j}{i + 2 j} = (\begin{matrix} 0 & - \frac{1}{5} & - \frac{2}{7} \\ \frac{1}{4} & 0 & - \frac{1}{8} \\ \frac{2}{5} & \frac{1}{7} & 0 \end{matrix}) i s$ neither symmetric nor skew symmetric but every square matrix can be expressed sum of symmetric and skew symmetric
