Answer

We know that,

For matrix multiplication :

No. of columns in 1st matrix must be equal to the number of rows in 2nd matrix.

Resultant matrix order = No. of rows in 1st matrix × No. of columns in 2nd matrix.

Let order of matrix M be a × b.

⇒ Ma × b × [3210]2×2=[31]1×2\begin{bmatrix}[r] 3 & 2 \ -1 & 0 \end{bmatrix}{2 \times 2} = \begin{bmatrix}[r] 3 & -1 \end{bmatrix}{1 \times 2}

b = 2 and a = 1.

Order of matrix M = 1 × 2.

Hence, Option 3 is the correct option.
