Question:

If order of matrix $A$ is $m \times p$ and order of matrix $B$ is $p \times n$, then what is the order of matrix $A B$ ?

Options:

$m \times p$

$m \times n$

$p \times n$

$m \times 2$

Correct Answer:

$m \times n$

Explanation:

order (A) = $m \times p$

order (B) = $p \times n$

so order(AB) = $m \times n$  (values of row of A and column of B)
