Let $A = [a_{ij}]_{3\times3}$ be a matrix such that $a_{ij} = \dfrac{i-j}{i+j}$, then which of the following statements is/are TRUE?

A. A is a symmetric matrix

B. A is a skew symmetric matrix

C. $|A| = 0$

D. $|A| \neq 0$

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Let $A = (a_{ij})$ and $B = (b_{ij})$ are square matrices of same order.

(A) The number of possible matrices of order $2 \times 2$ with entries $-1, 0, 1$ is 81.

(B) $A + A'$ is skew symmetric matrix

(C) $A \cdot A^{-1} = 0$, $|A| \neq 0$

(D) A is skew symmetric matrix if $a_{ij} = -a_{ji}$ for all $i, j$

(E) $(AB)' = A'B'$

Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

If $\begin{bmatrix} x-2 & 3 & y \\ -3 & 0 & 2 \\ 4 & z-1 & 0 \end{bmatrix}$ is a skew-symmetric matrix, then the value of $x+y+z$ is:
