Ex 3.2, 21 (Introduction) Assume X, Y, Z, W and P are matrices of order 2 × n, 3 × k, 2 × p, n × 3 , and p × k respectively. The restriction on n, k and p so that PY +WY will be defined are: (A) k = 3, p = n (B) k is arbitrary, p = 2 (C) p is arbitrary, k = 3 (D) k = 2, p = 3 Ex 3.2, 21 Assume X, Y, Z, W and P are matrices of order 2 × n, 3 × k, 2 × p, n × 3 , and p × k respectively. The restriction on n, k and p so that PY +WY will be defined are: (A) k = 3, p = n (B) k is arbitrary, p = 2 (C) p is arbitrary, k = 3 (D) k = 2, p = 3 Order of P is p × k Order of Y is 3 × k PY = [P]_(p × k) [Y]_(3 × 𝑘) This is possible only if k = 3 So, PY_(𝑝 × 𝑘) Now, PY_(𝑝 × 𝑘) + WY_(𝑛 × 𝑘) is possible if p × k = n × k p = n Thus p = n and k = 3 Hence, correct answer is A
