The matrix A has x rows and x + 5 columns. The matrix B has y rows and 11 − y columns. Both AB and BA exist. What are the values of x and y respectively? A. 8 and 3 B. 3 and 4 C. 3 and 8 D. 8 and 8

Answer»

Correct option C. 3 and 8

Explanation:

For existence of both matrices, number of rows of matrix A = number of columns of matrix B and number of rows of matrix B = number of columns of matrix A 

i.e., x = 11 - y 

and y = x + 5 

Solving above equations, we get 

x = 8 and y = 3.
