Question : 10
Total: 29
If [
12
34
]
[
31
25
]
= [
711
k23
]
, then write the value of k.
Solution:  
Given [
12
34
]
[
31
25
]
= [
711
k23
]

Now using matrix multiplication in LHS, we get
[
1×3+2×21×1+2×5
3×3+4×23×1+4×5
]
= [
711
k23
]

[
3+41+10
9+83+20
]
= [
711
k23
]

[
711
1723
]
= [
711
k23
]

Now on equating the corresponding elements we get the value of k = 17
