If the matrix \(A=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}\alpha & \beta & \gamma \\ 0 & 0 & 2 \\ 3 & -2 & 0\end{array}\right]\) is a skew symmetric matrix, then the value of \((\alpha+\beta+\gamma)^2\) is :

  1. A 4
  2. B 16
  3. C 9
  4. D 36
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 9

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(A^T = -A\) \(\alpha = -\alpha \Rightarrow \alpha = 0\) \(0 = -\beta \Rightarrow \beta = 0\) \(3 = -\gamma \Rightarrow \gamma = -3\) \((\alpha+\beta+\gamma)^2 = (0+0-3)^2 = (-3)^2 = 9\)
