Sample Questions

1multiple choice

Matrix addition A + B is defined only when:

Show answer

A and B have the same order

Matrix addition requires A and B to have the exact same order (same number of rows and same number of columns).

2multiple choice
1 marks

If A is a 2×3 matrix and B is a 3×4 matrix, the order of AB is:

Show answer

2×4

If A is m×p and B is p×n, then AB is m×n. Here A is 2×3 and B is 3×4, so AB is 2×4.

3true false

Matrix multiplication is commutative, i.e., AB = BA always.

Show answer

False

Matrix multiplication is NOT commutative. In general AB ≠ BA. Even when both products are defined and of the same order, they need not be equal.

4multiple choice

The transpose of a matrix A = [a_ij]_{m×n} is:

Show answer

[a_ji]_{n×m}

Transpose swaps row and column indices: (A^T)_ij = a_ji. The order also swaps from m×n to n×m.
