Question

What is the inverse of a skew symmetric matrix of odd order ?

Open in App
Solution

Since the determinant of a skew symmetric matrix of odd order is zero
Hence the matrix is singular
And we know that a square matrix is invertible if and only if it is non-singular.
Hence skew symmetric matrix of odd order is not invertible i.e inverse does not exist .
