Statement I. Determine if a skew-symmetric matrix of order is zero.
Statement II. For any matrix and . Where denotes the determinant of matrix . Then,
Statement I is correct, Statement II is incorrect
Explanation for the correct option:
Finding the value of :
Let be a skew-symmetric matrix so
Now taking determinants on both the sides we get
Therefore,
Hence the statement II has been proven.
Since is odd
Hence the statement I has been proven.
Therefore, the correct answer is option (A).
