Q1(i):
In the matrix $A = \begin{bmatrix} 2 & 5 & 19 & -7 \\ 35 & -2 & \frac{5}{2} & 12 \\ \sqrt{3} & 1 & -5 & 17 \end{bmatrix}$, write: (i) The order of the matrix
Solution :
Step 1: Identifying the Matrix Structure
The given matrix $A$ is presented as an array of elements organized into horizontal rows and vertical columns:
$A = \begin{bmatrix} 2 & 5 & 19 & -7 \\ 35 & -2 & \frac{5}{2} & 12 \\ \sqrt{3} & 1 & -5 & 17 \end{bmatrix}$By inspection, we define the dimensions of the matrix as follows:
- Rows ($m$): These are the horizontal arrangements of elements. Counting them:
- Row 1: $[2, 5, 19, -7]$
- Row 2: $[35, -2, \frac{5}{2}, 12]$
- Row 3: $[\sqrt{3}, 1, -5, 17]$
- Columns ($n$): These are the vertical arrangements of elements. Counting them:
- Column 1: $[2, 35, \sqrt{3}]^T$
- Column 2: $[5, -2, 1]^T$
- Column 3: $[19, \frac{5}{2}, -5]^T$
- Column 4: $[-7, 12, 17]^T$
Step 2: Defining the Order of a Matrix
[Per the definition of Matrix Algebra], the order of a matrix is denoted as $m \times n$, where $m$ represents the number of rows and $n$ represents the number of columns. This notation identifies the dimensions of the rectangular array.
Step 3: Calculating the Final Order
Substituting the identified values into the $m \times n$ format:
$m = 3$$n = 4$
$\text{Order} = 3 \times 4$
Final Solution: The order of the matrix $A$ is $3 \times 4$.

Iam Masters passed out student in biochemistry from central university of Rajasthan. I have interest towards make students understand and learn interesting stuff in science
Mandeep is a very good teacher. I like the way he tries to make me understand the concepts in depth. He is also very passionate about the subject and happy to teach. May many students benefit from him. Thank you, Mandeep.
I believe in delivering concepts and knowledge from the scratch so as to make the subject easy and relatable. My target is not only marks but rather developing an interest in the students for the subjects so as to have a better understanding and a good prospect for the future.
I literally loved it. Studying economics from him was the best decision I made during my crucial year of high school. I would literally wait for his classes. Making students understand difficult concepts in no time, giving practical examples, mentoring students throughout the year, and giving some quality exam papers for practice, he covered them all and as a result, we were so confident the night before the exam. He is the one you need to back you. I am sure you don't want to miss this. Highly recommended.
Taught the same course for the Ministry of Education of in a country called Brunei Darussalam. After relocated to India I had been teaching in BHAT'S CLASSES, BANGALORE before the pandemic for both CBSE/ICSE & the STATE SYLLABI.
I am a teacher with over 25 years of experience. Teaching is my passion. I teach across ICSE, ISC, IGCSE , AS&A Levels. I keep producing excellent results year after year through my vast knowledge&experience in the subjects I teach.
Nice teacher. Very punctual , always follow her schedule. Hold on her subject ie economics. Highly recommended.
I have been teaching Class 12 Mathematics for years, helping students understand difficult concepts with simple explanations and step-by-step guidance. My focus is on making math easy—especially chapters like Calculus, Matrices, Determinants, Vectors, and 3D Geometry. I provide regular practice, chapter-wise tests, and personalized feedback so students know exactly where to improve. Many of my students have gained confidence and improved their scores through clear concepts and exam-oriented preparation.
Good knowledge of Java And C++. Surely recommended.
