    If \[A={{[{{a}_{ij}}]}_{n\times n}}\] be a diagonal matrix with diagonal element all different and \[B={{[{{b}_{ij}}]}_{n\times n}}\] be some another matrix. Let \[AB={{[cij]}_{n\times n}}\]then \[{{c}_{ij}}\] is equal to

    A) \[{{a}_{jj}}{{b}_{ij}}\]

    B) \[{{a}_{ii}}\,{{b}_{ij}}\]

    C) \[{{a}_{ij}}\,{{b}_{ij}}\]

    D) \[{{a}_{ij}}\,{{b}_{ji}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] \[{{c}_{ij}}=\sum\limits_{k=1}^{n}{{{a}_{ik}}{{b}_{kj}}}\]                       (In general) and in a diagonal matrix non-diagonal elements are zero      i.e., \[{{a}_{ij}}=\left\{ \begin{matrix}    0 & if\,i\ne j  \\    a{{ & }_{ii}}, & if\,\,i=j  \\ \end{matrix} \right.\] So,       \[{{c}_{ij}}={{a}_{ii}}{{b}_{ij}}\]
