Question
Assertion (A): $\left[\begin{array}{lll}3 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 4 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 7\end{array}\right]$ is a diagonal matrix.
Reason (R): $A=\left[a_{i j}\right]_{n \times n}$ is a square matrix such that $a_{i j}=0, \forall i \neq j$, then $A$ is called diagonal matrix.

Answer

(a): If $A=\left[a_{i j}\right]_{n \times n}$ is a square matrix such that $a_{i j}=0$ for $i \neq j$, then $A$ is called diagonal matrix. Thus, the given statement is true and $A=\left[\begin{array}{lll}3 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 4 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 7\end{array}\right]$ is a diagonal matrix.
