Answer
Let resultant matrix of CA be R.
C5 × 5 × A5 × 5 = Rm × n
We know that,
For matrix multiplication :
No. of columns in C must be equal to the number of rows in A.
Resultant matrix order = No. of rows in C × No. of columns in A.
∴ m = 5 and n = 5.
∴ Order of matrix R will be 5 × 5.
Let resultant matrix of B2 be S.
B5 × 5 × B5 × 5 = Sg × h
Resultant matrix order = No. of rows in B × No. of columns in B.
∴ g = 5 and h = 5.
∴ Order of matrix S will be 5 × 5.
⇒ CA + B2
⇒ R + S
Addition of matrix possible between matrix of same order and same is the order of resultant matrix.
Hence, resultant matrix's order = 5 × 5
Hence, Option 2 is the correct option.
