Step-by-Step Solution

Let the order of matrix A be \(n \times m\). This is given.

Let the order of matrix B be \(p \times q\).

For \(AB'\) to be defined, the number of columns of A must be equal to the number of rows of \(B'\). Since B is \(p \times q\), \(B'\) is \(q \times p\). Therefore, \(m = q\).

For \(B'A\) to be defined, the number of columns of \(B'\) must be equal to the number of rows of A. Therefore, \(p = n\).

So, the order of B is \(p \times q = n \times m\).

Correct Answer: \(n\times m\)

AI Suggestion: Option B
