In a third order matrix \(A\), \(a_{0}\) denotes the element in the ith row and \(j\) th column. If \(a_{i j}=0\) for \(i=j,1\) for \(i>j,-1\) for \(i < j\) Then the matrix is

  1. A skew symmetric
  2. B symmatric
  3. C not invertible
  4. D non-singular
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) not invertible

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\[ A=\left[\begin{array}{ccc} 0 & -1 & -1 \\ 1 & 0 & -1 \\ 1 & 1 & 0 \end{array}\right] \] \(\Rightarrow\) \(A^{\prime}=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0 & 1 & 1 \\ -1 & 0 & 1 \\ -1 & -1 & 0\end{array}\right]=-A\) \(\Rightarrow A\) is a skew-symmetric matrix.…
