Assume X, Y, Z, W and P are matrices of order 2 × n, 3 × k, 2 × p, n × 3 and p × k,
respectively. Choose the correct answer in Exercises 21 and 22.
Q22. If n = p, then the order of the matrix is:
(A) p × 2
(B) 2 × n
(C) n × 3
(D) p × n
X has of order .
7X also has of order .
Z has of order .
5Z also has of order .
Mtarices 7X and 5Z can only be subtracted if they both have same order i.e = and it is given that p=n.
We can say that both matrices have order of .
Thus, order of is .
Option (B) is correct.
