The matrix AA has xx rows and x+5x+5 columns. The matrix BB has y rows and 11−y11-\mathrm{y} columns. Both AB and BA exist. What are the values of xx and yy respectively?

Options

  1. A88 and 33
  2. B33 and 44
  3. C33 and 88
  4. D88 and 88

Correct answer

C. 33 and 88

Step-by-step solution

Given, Matrix A has xx rows and x+5x+5 columns Matrix B has y rows and 11−11- y columns. Also given AB and BA exists. If A Bexists,thenthenumberofrowsinAexists, then the number of rows in A most be equal to number of columns in BB. i.e., x=11−y…(1)IfBAexists,thenx=11-y\ldots(1) If BA exists, then the numberofrowsinBmustbeequaltonumberofrowsinA.number of rows in B must be equal to number of rows in A. i.e., x+5=y⇒11−y+5=y( from (1))⇒2y=16\begin{aligned} & \text{ i.e., } x+5=y \\ & \Rightarrow 11-y+5=y(\text{ from }(1)) \\ & \Rightarrow 2 y=16\end{aligned} (1) ⇒x=11−8=3. So,\text{ (1) } \Rightarrow x=11-8=3 \text{. } So,x=3, y=8..
