Answers (1)

Answer: \sum _{i}a_{ii}=0

Hint: Here to solve this we use the basic concept of skew symmetric matrix

Given: A=\left [ a_{ij} \right ]is skew symmetric

             Write value of \sum _{i}a_{ii}=?

Solution: Let Ais a m\times nmatrix

Where a_{ij}=idenotes row

                        J denotes column

I=\sum _{i=1}^{m}a_{ii}

=a_{11}+a_{22}+a\cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot a_{mn}

A=\left [ a_{ij} \right ]_{m\times n} where\: i\leq m,j\leq n

HereA is skew symmetric

So, -A=A^{T}

-a_{ij}=a_{ji}

2a_{ij}=0

a_{ij}=0

So, if j=i

a_{ii}=0

So,\sum _{i}a_{ii}=0
