If a matrix has 24 elements, what are the possible order it can have? What, if it has 13 elements?
If a matrix has 24 elements, what are the possible order it can have? What, if it has 13 elements?
Solution and Explanation
We know that if a matrix is of the order m × n, it has mn elements.
Thus, to find all the possible orders of a matrix having 24 elements,
we have to find all the ordered pairs of natural numbers whose product is 24.
The ordered pairs are: (1, 24), (24, 1), (2, 12), (12, 2), (3, 8), (8, 3), (4, 6), and (6, 4)
Hence, the possible orders of a matrix having 24 elements are:
1 × 24, 24 × 1, 2 × 12, 12 × 2, 3 × 8, 8 × 3, 4 × 6, and 6 × 4 (1, 13) and (13, 1) are the ordered pairs of natural numbers whose product is 13.
Hence, the possible orders of a matrix having 13 elements are 1 × 13 and 13 × 1.
Top Questions on Matrices
Three students, Neha, Rani, and Sam go to a market to purchase stationery items. Neha buys 4 pens, 3 notepads, and 2 erasers and pays ₹ 60. Rani buys 2 pens, 4 notepads, and 6 erasers for ₹ 90. Sam pays ₹ 70 for 6 pens, 2 notepads, and 3 erasers.

Matrices
Matrix:
A matrix is a rectangular array of numbers, variables, symbols, or expressions that are defined for the operations like subtraction, addition, and multiplications. The size of a matrix is determined by the number of rows and columns in the matrix.
The basic operations that can be performed on matrices are:
- Addition of Matrices - The addition of matrices addition can only be possible if the number of rows and columns of both the matrices are the same.
- Subtraction of Matrices - Matrices subtraction is also possible only if the number of rows and columns of both the matrices are the same.
- Scalar Multiplication - The product of a matrix A with any number 'c' is obtained by multiplying every entry of the matrix A by c, is called scalar multiplication.
- Multiplication of Matrices - Matrices multiplication is defined only if the number of columns in the first matrix and rows in the second matrix are equal.
- Transpose of Matrices - Interchanging of rows and columns is known as the transpose of matrices.
