If matrix \(A=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}x & 2 & 3 \\ a & y & -5 \\ b & c & 0\end{array}\right]\) isa skew-symmetric matrix, then
(A) x + y + c = 5
(B) c = 5
(C) a + b + c = 0
(D) a + b - c = 10
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  1. A (A) and (B) only
  2. B (A), (B) and (C) only
  3. C (D) and (A) only
  4. D (A) and (C) only
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) (A), (B) and (C) only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(A^T = -A\) \(a_{ii} = 0 \Rightarrow x = 0, y = 0\) \(a_{12} = -a_{21} \Rightarrow 2 = -a \Rightarrow a = -2\) \(a_{13} = -a_{31} \Rightarrow 3 = -b \Rightarrow b = -3\) \(a_{23} = -a_{32} \Rightarrow -5 = -c \Rightarrow c = 5\) (A) \(x + y + c = 0 + 0 + 5 = 5\) (True)…
