If
, then write the order of matrix A.
We are given that,

We need to find the order of the matrix A.
Let the matrices be,
![]()


Let us find the order of X.
Number of rows of matrix X = 1
Number of columns of matrix X = 3
So, order of matrix X = 1 × 3 …(i)
Now, let us find the order of Y.
Number of rows of matrix Y = 3
Number of columns of matrix Y = 3
So, order of matrix Y = 3 × 3 …(ii)
From (i) and (ii),
Order of resulting XY = 1 × 3 [∵, Number of columns of X = Number of rows of Y] …(iii)
Let us find the order of Z.
Number of rows of matrix Z = 3
Number of columns of matrix Z = 1
So, order of matrix Z = 3 × 1 …(iv)
Order of resulting XYZ = 1 × 1 [∵, Number of columns of XY = Number of rows of Z]
Thus, the order of matrix A = 1 × 1
