Question

If the matrix is a square matrix and it contains 36 elements, then the order of the matrix is :

(a) 4 × 4

(b) 8 × 8

(c) 6 × 6

(d) 3 × 3

Answer 1

Correct option is (c) 6 × 6

The number of elements in a matrix are equal to the product of number of rows and columns.

As the matrix is a square matrix so that if matrix has 36 elements then the order of the matrix is 6 × 6.

Hence, the answer is 6 × 6.
