If $A$ is matrix of order $m \times n$ and $B$ is a matrix such that $AB'$ and $B'A$ are both defined, then order of matrix $B$ is |
$m \times m$ $n \times n$ $n \times m$ $m \times n$ |
$m \times n$ |
The correct answer is Option (4) → $m \times n$ ## Let $A = [a_{ij}]_{m \times n} \text{ and } B = [b_{ij}]_{p \times q}$ $∴$ $B' = [b_{ji}]_{q \times p}$ Now, since $AB'$ is defined, so $n = q$ and $B'A$ is also defined, so $p = m$ $∴$ Order of $B' = [b_{ji}]_{n \times m}$ So, Order of $B = [b_{ij}]_{m \times n}$ |
