Question
Assertion (A): The matrix $A=\left(\begin{array}{ccc}0 & a & b \\ -a & 0 & c \\ -b & -c & 0\end{array}\right)$ is a skew-symmetric matrix.
Reason (R) : A square matrix $A=\left(a_{i j}\right)$ of order $m$ is said to be skew-symmetric if $A^T=-A$.

Answer

(a) : $A=\left(\begin{array}{ccc}0 & a & b \\ -a & 0 & c \\ -b & -c & 0\end{array}\right) \therefore A^T=\left(\begin{array}{ccc}0 & -a & -b \\ a & 0 & -c \\ b & c & 0\end{array}\right)$
$
\Rightarrow \quad A^T=-A
$
$\therefore \quad$ Assertion and Reason both are true and Reason is correct explanation of Assertion.
