Detailed Solution
Given AT=A, BT=-B given system is homogenous system of equationsDeterminant of coefficient matrix is A2B2−B2A2Consider A2B2−B2A2T=A2B2)T−(B2A2T =B2A2-A2B2 =-A2B2−B2A2Therefore, A2B2−B2A2 is a skew symmetric matrix of odd orderHence the determinant of the coefficient matrix is zero. Therefore, the system of equations have non trivial solutions, and it has infinitely many solutions
