Question:

If A and B are two matrices of order 3 × p and 3 ×q respectively, and p=q, then the order of (2A-5B) is :

Options:

3×q

p×q

3 × 3

p × 3

Correct Answer:

3×q

Explanation:

The correct answer is option (1) → $3×q$

for $3 × q$, $3 ×p$ if $p=q$

$⇒3 × q=3 ×p$

so order (2A - 5B) = order (A) = order (B)

$=3 × q=3 ×p$
