  1. A \(\mathrm{2K}\)
  2. B \(0\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{K}^2\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{K}\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\mathrm{K}^2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, A is \(3 \times 3\) matrix and \(|\mathrm{A}|=\mathrm{k}\) Now, \(\mathrm{A}-\mathrm{A}^{\mathrm{T}}\) is always a skew symmetric matrix of order 3 So, \(\left|\mathrm{A}-\mathrm{A}^{\mathrm{T}}\right|=0\) and…
