Question
Assertion : If A is a skew symmetric matrix of order 3 then its determinant should be zero.
Reason : If A is square matrix then det A = det = det (–)
- If both (A) and (R) are true, and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
- If both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
- If (A) is true but (R) is false.
- If (A) is false but (R) is true.
The correct answer is: If (A) is true but (R) is false.
The reason R is false since
det = det (–) is not true.
Indeed det (–) = (–1)3 det
Now as A = –(A is skew symmetric)
det A = det (–) –det () – det A
det A = 0
The assertion A is true.
