Assume PP, QQ, RR and SS are matrices of order 2×m2 \times m, k×nk \times n, m×2m \times 2 and 2×32 \times 3 respectively. The restrictions on kk, mm and nn, so that PQ+RSPQ + RS is defined are

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 4

Order of P=2×mP=2\times m, Q=k×nQ=k\times n, R=m×2R=m\times 2, S=2×3S=2\times 3.

For PQPQ to be defined: m=km=k, giving order 2×n2\times n.

For RSRS to be defined: inner dim 2=22=2 ok, giving order m×3m\times 3.

For PQ+RSPQ+RS, both must have same order: 2×n=m×32\times n = m\times 3, so m=2m=2 and n=3n=3. Hence m=k=2, n=3m=k=2,\ n=3.
