Assume \(A, B\) and \(C\) are matrices of order \(m \times n, n \times 3\) and \(3 \times q\) respectively. The restrictions on \(m, n\) and \(q\) so that \(A B+B C\) is defined are

  1. A \(n\) is arbitrary, \(q=2\)
  2. B \(m=n, q=3\)
  3. C \(q=3, m=3\)
  4. D \(q\) is arbitrary, \(n=2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(m=n, q=3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For \(AB\) to be defined: order is \(m \times 3\). For \(BC\) to be defined: order is \(n \times q\). For \(AB+BC\) to be defined, their orders must be the same: \(m = n\) \(3 = q\)
