If the matrix [025x−20610−6y]\begin{bmatrix} 0 & 2 & 5x \\ -2 & 0 & 6 \\ 10 & -6 & y \end{bmatrix} is skew-symmetric matrix, then the value of (y−4x)(y - 4x) is :

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 4

For skew-symmetric: aij=−ajia_{ij}=-a_{ji} and diagonal entries are zero.

a13=−a31⇒5x=−10⇒x=−2a_{13}=-a_{31}\Rightarrow 5x=-10\Rightarrow x=-2.

Diagonal: y=0y=0.

y−4x=0−4(−2)=8y-4x=0-4(-2)=8.
