If the matrix \(A=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0 & x+y & 1 \\ 3 & z & 2 \\ x-y & -2 & 0\end{array}\right]\) is skew-symmetric, then:

  1. A x = 2, y = 1, z = 0
  2. B x = 2, y = 2, z = 0
  3. C x = - 2, y = - 1, z = 0
  4. D x = - 2, y = - 1, z = - 1
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) x = - 2, y = - 1, z = 0

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(a_{ii} = 0 \implies z = 0\) \(a_{12} = -a_{21} \implies x+y = -3\) \(a_{13} = -a_{31} \implies 1 = -(x-y) \implies -x+y = 1\) \((x+y) + (-x+y) = -3+1 \implies 2y = -2 \implies y = -1\) \(x+(-1) = -3 \implies x = -2\) \(x = -2, y = -1, z = 0\)
