If A=[0x32y−1z10]A = \begin{bmatrix}0 & x & 3\\2 & y & -1\\z & 1 & 0\end{bmatrix} is a skew-symmetric matrix, then the value of 3x+y−2z3x+y-2z is

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

Skew-symmetry requires zero diagonal and aij=−ajia_{ij}=-a_{ji}.

So y=0y=0; x=−a21=−2x=-a_{21}=-2; 3=−z3=-z gives z=−3z=-3.

Then 3x+y−2z=−6+0+6=03x+y-2z=-6+0+6=0.
