Let $A = [a_{ij}]_{3×2}$ and $B = [b_{ij}]_{3×4}$ be two matrices. Then the order of the matrix $(A^T. B)^T$ is: |
2 × 4 4 × 2 3 × 4 4 × 3 |
4 × 2 |
The correct answer is Option (2) → 4 × 2 A is a $3\times 2$ matrix. So $A^{T}$ is a $2\times 3$ matrix. B is a $3\times 4$ matrix. Product $A^{T}B$ is defined since inner dimensions match: $(2\times 3)(3\times 4)$. Thus, $A^{T}B$ is a $2\times 4$ matrix. Now take transpose: $(A^{T}B)^{T}$ is of order $4\times 2$. The order of $(A^{T}B)^{T}$ is $4\times 2$. |
