If A is a matrix of order m × 3, B is a matrix of order 3 × 2 and R is a matrix of order 5 × n such that AB = R, the values of m and n are :

  1. m = -5 and n = -2

  2. m = 5 and n = 2

  3. m = 5 and n = -2

  4. m = 2 and n = 5

Answer

Given,

AB = R

Am × 3B3 × 2 = R5 × n

We know that,

For matrix multiplication :

No. of columns in A must be equal to the number of rows in B.

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

∴ m = 5 and n = 2.

Hence, Option 2 is the correct option.
