Answer
Let A =
Let B =
Let order of P be m × n:
Thus, AP = B
For matrix multiplication:
The number of columns in A must equal the number of rows in P.
⇒ m = 2
The order of the product B = Rows of A × Columns of P.
⇒ 2 × 1 = 2 × n
⇒ n = 1.
Order of matrix P = 2 × 1.
Hence, option 2 is the correct option.
