Statement-1: Determinant of a skew-symmetric matrix of order 3 is zero. Statement-2: For any matrix A, $Det (A) = Det (A^T)$ and $Det (-A)=-Det (A)$ where $Det (B)$ denotes the determinant of matrix B. Then, |
Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is true; Statement-2 is a correct explanation for Statement-1. Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is True; Statement-2 is not a correct explanation for Statement-1. Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is False. Statement-1 is False, Statement -2 is True. |
Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is False. |
Let A be a skew-symmetric matrix of order 3. Then, $A^T =- A$ $⇒Det (A^T) = Det (-A)$ $⇒Det (A)=(-1)^3\, Det (A)$ $⇒Det (A)=-Det (A)$ $⇒2\, Det (A) = 0$ $⇒Det (A) = 0$ So, statement-1 is true. For any square matrix of order n, we have $Det (A^T) = Det (A)$ and $Det (-A)=(-1)^n\, Det (A)$ So, statement-2 is not true. |
