Question 1 If A =[π_ππ ] is a skew-symmetric matrix of order n, then (a) π_ππ = 1/π_ππ β π,π (b) π_ππ β 0 β π,π (c) π_ππ = 0, π€βπππ π = π (d) π_ππ β 0 π€βπππ π = j In a In a skew symmetric matrix Aβ = βA For example If A = [β 8(0&2&β3@β2&0&β9@3&9&0)] Aβ = [β 8(0&β2&3@2&0&9@β3&β9&0)] β΄ Aβ = βA 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 π_ππ = 0, π€βπππ π = π So, the correct answer is (c)
