The matrix A=\(\begin{bmatrix}0&1&-1\\-1&0&1\\1&-1&0\end{bmatrix}\) is __________(a) scalar matrix(b) identity matrix(c) symmetric matrix(d) skew-symmetric matrixI have been asked this question in unit test.The above asked question is from Symmetric and Skew Symmetric Matrices topic in chapter Matrices of Mathematics – Class 12

Answer»

Correct answer is (d) skew-symmetric MATRIX

To EXPLAIN: The given matrix A=\(\begin{bmatrix}0&1&-1\\-1&0&1\\1&-1&0\end{bmatrix}\) is skew symmetric.

⇒A’=\(\begin{bmatrix}0&-1&1\\1&0&-1\\-1&1&0\end{bmatrix}\)=A

∴A=-A’. HENCE, it is a skew-symmetric matrix.
