Answer: Hence proved

P Q=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}x a & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & y b & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & z c\end{array}\right]=Q P

Hint: Matrix multiplication is only possible, when the number of columns of first matrix is equal to the number of rows of second matrix.

Given:

P=\left[\begin{array}{lll}x & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & y & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & z\end{array}\right] and \ \ Q=\left[\begin{array}{lll}a & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & b & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & c\end{array}\right]

We have,

\\\\ P Q=\left[\begin{array}{lll}x & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & y & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & z\end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{lll}a & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & b & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & c\end{array}\right]\\\\ P Q=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}x \times a & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & y \times b & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & z \times c\end{array}\right] \\\\ =\left[\begin{array}{ccc}x a & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & y b & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & z c\end{array}\right]

And we have,

\begin{array}{l} Q P=\left[\begin{array}{ccc} a & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & b & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & c \end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{ccc} x & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & y & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & z \end{array}\right] \\\\ =\left[\begin{array}{ccc} a \times x & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & b \times y & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & c \times z \end{array}\right] \end{array}

=\left[\begin{array}{ccc} a x & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & b y & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & c z \end{array}\right]

As xa=ax, yb=by, zc=cz

Therefore,

P Q=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}x a & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & y b & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & z c\end{array}\right]=Q P

Hence proved.
