Matrices

Question:

If $A$ and $B$ are two matrices of the order $3 \times m$ and $3 \times n$, respectively and $m = n$, then order of matrix $(5A - 2B)$ is

Options:

$m \times 3$

$3 \times 3$

$m \times n$

$3 \times n$

Correct Answer:

$3 \times n$

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) → $3 \times n$ ##

$A_{3 \times m}$ and $B_{3 \times n}$ are two matrices. If $m = n$, then $A$ and $B$ have same orders as $3 \times n$ each, so the order of $(5A - 2B)$ should be same as $3 \times n$.
