Answer

Let resultant matrix of CA be R.

C3 × 3 × A3 × 3 = 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 = 3 and n = 3.

∴ Order of matrix R will be 3 × 3.

Let resultant matrix of B2 be S.

B3 × 3 × B3 × 3 = Sg × h

Resultant matrix order = No. of rows in B × No. of columns in B.

∴ g = 3 and h = 3.

∴ Order of matrix S will be 3 × 3.

⇒ 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 = 3 × 3.

Hence, Option 2 is the correct option.
