Question

Assertion :If A is skew symmetric matrix of order 3 then its determinant should be zero Reason: If A is square matrix, then $detA=det{A}^{\prime }=det(-A^{\prime })$

• A. Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
• B. Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
• C. Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
• D. Assertion is incorrect but Reason is correct

Answer 1

The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect

Statement 1 is obviously correct but statement 2 is incorrect because $det\left(A\right)=det\left(A^{\prime }\right)\ne det(-A^{\prime })$
