Q16 / 75 · NTA Abhyas (JEE Main) 2020 · Mathematics · Matrices

Let A and B be two matrices such that the order of A is 5×7. If ATB and BAT are both defined, then (where AT is the transpose of matrix A)

  • A
    order of BT is 5×7
  • Correct answer
    B
    order of BTA is 7×7
  • C
    order of BTA is 5×5
  • D
    BTA is undefined

Solution

Order of A is 5×7⇒ order of AT=7×5

If ATB is defined ⇒ order of B must be 5×n

If BAT is defined ⇒ order of B must be m×7

Hence, the order of B is 5×7

⇒Order of BT is 7×5

⇒Order of BTA is 7×7

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
