If ( A ) is a matrix of order ( m n ) and ( B ) is a matrix such that ( AB ^ ) and ( B ^ A ) are both defined, the order of the matrix ( B ) is
Options
- A( m m )
- B( n n )
- Cn ( m )
- D( m n )
Correct answer
D. ( m n )
Step-by-step solution
Given that, matrix A is m n Let matrix B is x y . So, AB ^ is defined then, n = y Similarly, B 'A is defined then, x = m Therefore, order of matrix B is m n .
