Question

If A is a skew-symmetric matrix of odd order, then the determinant of A is:

• A. -1
• B. 0
• C. 1
• D. any real number

Hint:

A skew-symmetric matrix of odd order always has a determinant of 0.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

For a skew-symmetric matrix of odd order, the determinant is always zero. This is a property of skew-symmetric matrices.
