If \(A=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0 & l & -3 \\ -2 & 0 & 1 \\ m & -1 & 0\end{array}\right]\) is a skew symmetric matrix, then

  1. A \(l=3, m=2\)
  2. B \(l=-3, m=2\)
  3. C \(l=2, m=3\)
  4. D \(l=2, m=-3\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(l=2, m=3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given \(A\) is a skew-symmetric matrix, so \(a_{ij} = -a_{ji}\). \(a_{12} = -a_{21} \implies l = -(-2) \implies l = 2\) \(a_{13} = -a_{31} \implies -3 = -(m) \implies m = 3\)
