Question
Assertion : If A is a skew symmetric 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.

Statement-I The equation has exactly one solution in [0, 2].
Statement-II For equations of type to have real solutions in should hold true.
In this question, we have to find the statements are the correct or not and statement 2 is correct explanation or not , is same like assertion and reason. Here, Start solving first Statement and try to prove it . Then solve the Statement-II . Remember cos a cosb -sin a sinb = cos ( a + b ) and sin a cosb + cosa sinb = sin( a+ b) .
