Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation

Given A = \(\begin{pmatrix} 2 & 1 \\ 2 & 3 \\ 1 & 2 \end{pmatrix}\) and B = \(\begin{pmatrix} 3 & 2 \\ 4 & 2 \end{pmatrix}\).

We can multiply these matrices since the number of colums in A = number of rows in B

 

AB = \(\begin{pmatrix} (2*3)+(1*4) & (2*2)+(1*2) \\ (2*3)+(3*4) & (2*2)+(3*2) \\ (1*3)+(2*4) & (1*2)+(2*2) \end{pmatrix}\)

 

AB = \(\begin{pmatrix} (6+4) & (4+2) \\ (6+12) & (4+6) \\ (3+8) & (2+4) \end{pmatrix}\)

 

= \(\begin{pmatrix} 10 & 6 \\ 18 & 10 \\ 11 & 6 \end{pmatrix}\)
