B are TWO matrices, then matrix AB exist when “No. of COLUMNS of Matrix A = No. of rows of Matrix B “SIMILARLY, matrix BA exist when “No. of columns of Matrix B = No. of rows of Matrix A “CALCULATION:For Matrix AB to exist, No. of columns of Matrix A = No. of rows of Matrix B)⇒ x + 5 = yFor Matrix BA to exist, No. of columns of Matrix B = No. of rows of Matrix A⇒ 11 - y = xSolving both the equations, we get: x = 3, y = 8.
