Given 𝐴=[β– (0&2π‘₯βˆ’1&√π‘₯@1βˆ’2π‘₯&0&2√π‘₯@βˆ’βˆšπ‘₯&βˆ’2√π‘₯&0)] Since diagonal elements are 0, this might be a skew symmetric matrix Let’s check Finding 𝑨^𝑻 𝐴^𝑇=[β– (0&1βˆ’2π‘₯&βˆ’βˆšπ‘₯@2π‘₯βˆ’1&0&βˆ’2√π‘₯@√π‘₯&2√π‘₯&0)] 𝐴^𝑇=βˆ’[β– (0&2π‘₯βˆ’1&√π‘₯@1βˆ’2π‘₯&0&2√π‘₯@βˆ’βˆšπ‘₯&βˆ’2√π‘₯&0)] 𝑨^𝑻= βˆ’ A Since 𝐴^𝑇= βˆ’A ∴ A is a skew symmetric matrix of order 3 We know that , Determinant of every skew symmetric matrix of odd order is 0. ∴ |A| = 0 So, the correct answer is (b)
