Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 4

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, \(A\) is \(m \times n\) matrix of rank 4 \(A\) contains \(m\) th order of non-singular sub matrix. \(A\) is non-singular matrix \(\therefore A\) is a square matrix of order \(M\) \(\therefore\) Rank of \(A\) is \(M\) \(\therefore\) order of \(A=4\) [rank of \(A=4\) ]…
