(A) $[a_{ij}]_{2×2} × [b_{ij}]_{2×4}$

(I) 2 × 4

(B) $[a_{ij}]_{2×1}× [b_{ij}]_{1×3}$

(II) Not possible

(C) $[a_{ij}]_{3×2} × [b_{ij}]_{3×2}$

(II) 3 × 3

(D) $[a_{ij}]_{3×3} × [b_{ij}]_{3×3}$

(IV) 2 × 3

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Options:

(A)-(I), (B)-(II), (C)-(IV), (D)-(III)

(A)-(I), (B)-(II), (C)-(III), (D)-(IV)

(A)-(I), (B)-(IV), (C)-(II), (D)-(III)

(A)-(III), (B)-(II), (C)-(I), (D)-(IV)

Correct Answer:

(A)-(I), (B)-(IV), (C)-(II), (D)-(III)

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → (A)-(I), (B)-(IV), (C)-(II), (D)-(III)

List-I Matrix Product

List-II Order of resultant matrix

(A) $[a_{ij}]_{2×2} × [b_{ij}]_{2×4}$

(I) 2 × 4

(B) $[a_{ij}]_{2×1}× [b_{ij}]_{1×3}$

(IV) 2 × 3

(C) $[a_{ij}]_{3×2} × [b_{ij}]_{3×2}$

(II) Not possible

(D) $[a_{ij}]_{3×3} × [b_{ij}]_{3×3}$

(II) 3 × 3

(A) $[a_{ij}]_{2\times 2} \times [b_{ij}]_{2\times 4}$

Inner dimensions: 2 and 2 → possible → result is $2\times 4$

Matches (I)

(B) $[a_{ij}]_{2\times 1} \times [b_{ij}]_{1\times 3}$

Inner dimensions: 1 and 1 → possible → result is $2\times 3$

Matches (IV)

(C) $[a_{ij}]_{3\times 2} \times [b_{ij}]_{3\times 2}$

Inner dimensions: 2 and 3 → not equal → not possible

Matches (II)

(D) $[a_{ij}]_{3\times 3} \times [b_{ij}]_{3\times 3}$

Inner dimensions: 3 and 3 → possible → result is $3\times 3$

Matches (III)

The correct matching is: A–I, B–IV, C–II, D–III.
