Hi Ankit!
As we know that if a matrix is of order m x n , it has mn elements. So, to find the possible orders of the matrix which has 24 elements, we need to find all the ordered pairs of all the natural numbers whose product becomes 24. Such orders/numbers can be:
(1, 24) , (2, 12), (24, 1), (12, 2), (3, 8), (4,6), (8,3) and (6, 4).
Therefore, the possible orders of the matrix having 24 elements are:
1x24, 24x1, 2x12, 12x2, 3x8, 8x3, 4x6, 6x4.
Hope it helps to clear your dilemma, thankyou!
