The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the conditions under which the matrices A and B can be added and multiplied. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Matrix Addition**: For the sum \( A + B \) to be defined, both matrices must have the same dimensions. This means that the number of rows and columns in matrix A must equal the number of rows and columns in matrix B. **Hint**: Check the dimensions of both matrices for addition. 2. **Understanding Matrix Multiplication**: For the product \( AB \) to be defined, the number of columns in matrix A must equal the number of rows in matrix B. This means if A is of size \( m \times n \), then B must be of size \( n \times p \) for some integer p. **Hint**: Look at the relationship between the columns of A and the rows of B for multiplication. 3. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option A**: "A and B are two matrices not necessarily of the same order." - This option is incorrect because if A and B are not of the same order, \( A + B \) cannot be defined. - **Option B**: "A and B are square matrices of the same order." - This option is correct because square matrices of the same order satisfy both conditions for addition and multiplication. - **Option C**: "The number of columns of A is equal to the number of rows of B." - This option is also incorrect because it only satisfies the condition for multiplication, not for addition. - **Option D**: "None of these." - This option is incorrect because we have already identified Option B as a valid condition. 4. **Conclusion**: The correct answer is **Option B**, which states that A and B are square matrices of the same order. ### Final Answer: **Option B**: A and B are square matrices of the same order.
