Question 1 If A =[π‘Ž_𝑖𝑗 ] is a skew-symmetric matrix of order n, then (a) π‘Ž_𝑖𝑗 = 1/π‘Ž_𝑗𝑖 βˆ€ 𝑖,𝑗 (b) π‘Ž_𝑖𝑗 β‰  0 βˆ€ 𝑖,𝑗 (c) π‘Ž_𝑖𝑗 = 0, π‘€β„Žπ‘’π‘Ÿπ‘’ 𝑖 = 𝑗 (d) π‘Ž_𝑖𝑗 β‰  0 π‘€β„Žπ‘’π‘Ÿπ‘’ 𝑖 = j In a In a skew symmetric matrix A’ = βˆ’A For example If A = [β– 8(0&2&βˆ’3@βˆ’2&0&βˆ’9@3&9&0)] A’ = [β– 8(0&βˆ’2&3@2&0&9@βˆ’3&βˆ’9&0)] ∴ A’ = βˆ’A So, A is a skew symmetric matrix Now, We note that in every skew symmetric matrices Diagonal elements are zero i.e. a11 = 0, a22 = 0, a33 = 0 Thus, we can say that 𝒂_π’Šπ’‹ = 0, π‘€β„Žπ‘’π‘Ÿπ‘’ 𝑖 = 𝑗 So, the correct answer is (c)
