For given real numbers $$00,$$ the inertia of the matrix $$L_{r+1}=\left[ \frac{{q_i}^{r+1}-{q_j}^{r+1}}{q_i-q_j}\right] $$ was studied by Bhatia, Friedland and Jain, which surprisingly came out to be same as that of the matrix $$P_r=[(q_i+q_j)^r].$$ They left therein with a question about the reason behind the same inertia. We aim to answer this question while revisiting the inertia of these matrices simultaneously.
