Let $A, B, C$ be $3 \times 3$ matrices such that $A$ is symmetric and $B$ and $C$ are skew-symmetric. Consider the statements:
$(S1): A^{13} B^{26} - B^{26} A^{13}$ is symmetric
$(S2): A^{26} C^{13} - C^{13} A^{26}$ is symmetric
Then,

  • A
    Only $S2$ is true
  • B
    Only $S1$ is true
  • C
    Both $S1$ and $S2$ are false
  • D
    Both $S1$ and $S2$ are true
