The correct values of a, b and c for which the matrix $\begin{bmatrix}0 & a & 3\\ 2 & b & -1\\c & 1 & 0 \end{bmatrix}$ is a Skew symmetric matrix are:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → $a=-2, b = 0, c= - 3 $
$A=\begin{bmatrix}0 & a & 3\\ 2 & b & -1\\c & 1 & 0 \end{bmatrix}⇒A^T=\begin{bmatrix}0 & -2 & -c\\ -a & -b & -1\\-3 & 1 & 0 \end{bmatrix}$
$A=-A^T$
$⇒a=-2, b = 0, c= - 3$
