6 is your correct answer....

Answer 2

Hence, the correct answer is option c) 6.

Given:

A matrix has 2 rows and 3 columns.

To Find:

The number of elements in the matrix.

Solution:

A matrix is a rectangular array consisting of elements, symbols, or objects arranged in rows and columns. The number of elements in a matrix is the product of the number of rows and columns present in the matrix.

If,

The number of rows in the matrix is = m

The number of columns in the matrix is = n

Then the number of elements in the matrix = m × n

In this question, the number of rows in the matrix, m = 2

and the number of columns in the matrix, n = 3.

∴ The number of elements in the matrix is = m × n = 2 × 3 = 6.

Hence, the correct answer is option c) 6.
