If the matrix [0−13x1y−5−650]\begin{bmatrix} 0 & -1 & 3x \\ 1 & y & -5 \\ -6 & 5 & 0 \end{bmatrix} is skew symmetric, then the value of x+yx+y is

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

A skew symmetric matrix has zero diagonal, so y=0y=0. Also a13=−a31a_{13}=-a_{31} gives 3x=63x=6, so x=2x=2. Hence x+y=2x+y=2.
