Question
If $\text{A}=\begin{bmatrix}2&1&4\\4&1&5 \end{bmatrix}$ and $\text{B}=\begin{bmatrix}3&-1\\2&2\\1&3\end{bmatrix}.$ Write the order of AB and BA.

Answer

Order of $A=2 \times 3$
Order of $B=3 \times 2$
So,
$\mathrm{A}_{2 \times 3} \times \mathrm{B}_{3 \times 2}$ has order $=2 \times 2$
$\mathrm{B}_{3 \times 2} \times \mathrm{A}_{2 \times 3}$ has order $=3 \times 3$
Hence,
Order of $A B=2 \times 2$
Order of $B A=3 \times 3$
