Any square matrix can be expressed as sum of symmetric and skew-symmetric as
A
=
1
2
(
A
+
A
T
)
+
1
2
(
A
−
A
T
)
Where the first term is symmetric and second term is skew-symmetric
Here
S
=
P
+
Q
to find Q i.e. the skew-symmetric matrix is given by
Q
=
1
2
(
S
−
S
T
)
Q
=
1
2
(
[
6
−
8
2
10
]
−
[
6
2
−
8
10
]
)
Q
=
1
2
[
0
−

0
]
Q
=
[
0
−

5
0
]
Hence the answer is option B.
