If the matrix \(A=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0 & -3 & x+y \\ 3 & x-2 y & 5 \\ -6 & -5 & 0\end{array}\right]\) is skew-symmetric then values of \(x\) and \(y\) respectively are :

  1. A 2, 2
  2. B 3, 3
  3. C 2, 4
  4. D 4, 2
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 4, 2

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(A\) is skew-symmetric \(\implies A^T = -A\) \(a_{22} = 0 \implies x-2y = 0\) (1) \(a_{13} = -a_{31} \implies x+y = -(-6) \implies x+y = 6\) (2) From (1), \(x=2y\) Substitute into (2): \(2y+y = 6\) \(3y = 6 \implies y=2\) \(x = 2(2) \implies x=4\) Values of \(x\) and \(y\) are…
