MCQ
The matrix $\begin{bmatrix}0&5&-7\\-5&0&11\\7&-11&0\end{bmatrix}$ is :
  • A skew $-$ symmetric matrix.
  • B
    A symmetric matrix.
  • C
    A diagonal matrix.
  • D
    An uppertriangular matrix.

Answer

Correct option: A.
A skew $-$ symmetric matrix.
Here,
$\text{A}=\begin{bmatrix}0&5&-7\\-5&0&11\\7&-11&0\end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow\text{A}^\text{T}=\begin{bmatrix}0&-5&7\\5&0&-11\\-7&11&0\end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow\text{A}^\text{T}=-\begin{bmatrix}0&5&-7\\-5&0&11\\7&-11&0\end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow\text{A}^\text{T}=-\text{A}$
Thus, $A$ is a skew $-$ symmetric matrix.
