Expert Solution
Step 1

Matrix multiplication is possible if and only if number of columns of first matrix is equal to the rows of second matrix.

i.e

AB is possible

if and only if number of columns of matrix A is equal to the rows of matrix B.

and,

BA is possible

if and only if number of columns of matrix B is equal to the rows of matrix A.
