Every graph is a tree so looks that your question is "WAP to know if a given graph is tree from using its adjacency matrix?"
yes sir you are right every tree is a graph.... actually we have to find cycle... if exist we say its a graph otherwise tree...
Yes see the answer by Anderson....

First simple check is to see whether the given adjacency matrix contains more than (n-1) 1's(in the case of undirected graph (2n-2) 1's). If so it is not a tree. Second simple check is to start a traversal(DFS orBFS) from one of the nodes and look for a node which is already visited. if so it involves a cycle and hence not a tree.

#define TREE 1
#define GRAPH 2

int find(int v, int *p)
{
    while(v != p[v])
        v = p[v];
    return v;
}
void union(int i, int j, int *p)
{
    if(i > j)
        p[i] = j;
    else
        p[j] = i;
}

int Is_TREE_Or_GRAPH(int a[][] , int n)
{
    int idx, p[n];
    int  u, u1, v, v1;

    for (idx = 0; idx < n; idx++)
        p[idx] = idx;

    for (row = 0; row < n; row++)
    {
        for (col = 0; col < row; col++)
        {
            if(a[row][col] == 1)
            {
                u = row;
                v = col;
                u1 = find(u, p);
                v1 = find(v, p);
                if (u1 == v1)
                    return GRAPH;
                union(u1, v1, p);
            }
        }
    }
    return TREE;
}

Keep the simple face in mind to solve this -
A tree is a directed graph if and only if it has n vertices (nodes) with n-1 edges. Now it should be simple to solve.

A binary tree is given and two nodes of this tree is given, we have to find out the algorithm/code for lowest common ancestor of the two given nodes. Common ancestor are the nodes which can be reached from two nodes by following the parent links. Lowest common ancestor is the common ancestor which has the highest depth.
