Let A=[aij]3×3A = [a_{ij}]_{3\times3} be a matrix such that aij=i−ji+ja_{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|A| = 0

D. ∣A∣≠0|A| \neq 0

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

Here aji=j−ii+j=−aija_{ji} = \frac{j-i}{i+j} = -a_{ij} and the diagonal entries are 00, so AA is skew symmetric. Every skew symmetric matrix of odd order has determinant 00. Hence B and C are true.
