$A$ and $B$ are two given matrices such that the order of $A$ is $3×4$ , if $A’ B$ and $BA’$ are both defined then

A

order of $B’$ is $3 × 4$

B

order of $B’A$ is $4 × 4$

C

order of $B’A$ is $3 × 3$

D

$B’A$ is undefined

Solution

$A = 3 × 4 ; A’ = 4×3$
As $A’ B$ is defined ==> let order of $B = 3 × n$
now $BA’ = (3 ×n) × (4 × 3) ==> n = 4$
$\therefore$ order of $B is 3 × 4$
$\therefore$ order of $B’ = 4 × 3$
order of $B’ A = (4×3) × (3 × 4) = 4 × 4$
