If \(\mathrm{A}\) and \(\mathrm{B}\) are two matrices such that \(\mathrm{A}+\mathrm{B}\) and \(\mathrm{AB}\) are both defined, then

  1. A A and \(B\) can be any matrices
  2. B A, B are square matrices not necessarily of the same order
  3. C A, B are square matrices of the same order
  4. D Number of columns of \(A=\) number of rows of \(B\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) A, B are square matrices of the same order

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Hints : Addition is defined if order of \(A\) is equal to order of \(B\) A B \(\mathrm{nxm} \mathrm{nxm}\) is defined if \(\mathrm{m}=\mathrm{n}\) \(\Rightarrow A, B\) are square matrices of same order
