Question 7 If š“=[ā– (0&1&š‘@āˆ’1&š‘Ž&āˆ’š‘@2&3&0)] is a skew-symmetric matrix then the value of š‘Ž+š‘+š‘= (A) 1 (B) 2 (C) 3 (D) 4 In a skew symmetric matrix A’ = āˆ’A Putting values [ā– (0&āˆ’1&2@1&š‘Ž&3@c&āˆ’b&0)]=āˆ’[ā– (0&1&š‘@āˆ’1&š‘Ž&āˆ’š‘@2&3&0)] [ā– (0&āˆ’1&2@1&š‘Ž&3@c&āˆ’b&0)]=[ā– (āˆ’0&āˆ’1&āˆ’š‘@āˆ’(āˆ’1)&āˆ’š‘Ž&āˆ’(āˆ’š‘)@āˆ’2&āˆ’3&āˆ’0)] [ā– (0&āˆ’1&2@1&š‘Ž&3@c&āˆ’b&0)]=[ā– (0&āˆ’1&āˆ’š‘@1&āˆ’š‘Ž&š‘@āˆ’2&āˆ’3&0)] Since matrices are equal, its corresponding terms are equal. So, c = āˆ’2 b = 3 And, a = āˆ’ a a + a = 0 2a = 0 a = 0 Thus, a + b + c = 0 + 3 āˆ’ 2 = 1 So, the correct answer is (A)
