If $A$ and $B$ are symmetric matrices,then $ABA$ is

If $P$ and $Q$ are symmetric matrices of the same order,then $PQ - QP$ is

Which one of the following statements is correct regarding skew-symmetric matrices?

If $P$ is a $3 \times 3$ matrix such that $P^{\top}=2 P+I$,where $P^{\top}$ is the transpose of $P$ and $I$ is the $3 \times 3$ identity matrix,then there exists a column matrix $X=\left[\begin{array}{l}x \\ y \\ z\end{array}\right] \neq\left[\begin{array}{l}0 \\ 0 \\ 0\end{array}\right]$ such that

If for the matrix $A = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & -\alpha \\ \alpha & \beta \end{bmatrix}$,$AA^{T} = I_{2}$,then the value of $\alpha^{4} + \beta^{4}$ is ....... .

$A=\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 \\ 2 & 1 \end{bmatrix}$ and $B=\begin{bmatrix} x & y \\ 1 & 2 \end{bmatrix}$ are two matrices such that $(A+B)(A-B)=A^2-B^2$. If $C=\begin{bmatrix} x & 2 \\ 1 & y \end{bmatrix}$, then $\operatorname{Trace}(C)=$
