If `A` is a skew-symmetric matrix of odd order `n` , then `|A|=O` .

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

As `A` is skew symmetric matrix of odd order Let $$A=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0 & 1 & 2 \\ -1 & 0 & 3 \\ -2 & -3 & 0\end{array}\right] \therefore A=-A^{\prime}$$ - (As A is skew symmetric) $$ \begin{aligned} &\Rightarrow|A|=|-A||\Rightarrow| A|=-| A \mid \\ &\Rightarrow|A|=-|A| \Rightarrow 2|A|=0 \\ &\therefore|A|=0 \end{aligned} ...
