Step-by-Step Solution

  1. A matrix of order \(3\times3\) has 9 entries.
  2. Each entry can be either \(\sqrt{2}\) or \(\sqrt{3}\). So, each entry has 2 choices.
  3. Since there are 9 entries, and each entry has 2 choices, the total number of possible matrices is \(2^9\).
  4. \(2^9 = 512\)

Correct Answer: 512
