Multiplication of matrices -

$A= \begin{bmatrix} 1 &2 \\ 3& 4 \end{bmatrix}$

$B= \begin{bmatrix} a &0\\ 0& b \end{bmatrix}$

$AB= \begin{bmatrix} 1 &2\\ 3& 4 \end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix} a &0\\ 0& b \end{bmatrix}= \begin{bmatrix} a &2b\\ 3a& 4b \end{bmatrix}$

$BA= \begin{bmatrix} a &0\\ 0& b \end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix} 1 &2\\ 3& 4 \end{bmatrix}= \begin{bmatrix} a &2a\\ 3b& 4b \end{bmatrix}$

$AB= BA$

$\begin{bmatrix} a &2b\\ 3a& 4b \end{bmatrix}= \begin{bmatrix} a &2a\\ 3b& 4b \end{bmatrix}$

$\Rightarrow$    2b = 2a

3a  = 3b

$a=b$

$B=a \begin{bmatrix} 1 &0\\ 0& 1 \end{bmatrix}= aI \; \: \: \: \: \:where A\leftarrow R$
