No. The number of columns of the first matrix needs to be the same as the number of rows of the second.

So, matrices can only be multiplied is their dimensions are k*l and l*m. If the matrices are of the same dimension then the number of rows are the same so that k = l, and the number of columns are the same so that l = m. And therefore both matrices are l*l square matrices.

What is order of the resultant matrix AB when two matrices are multiplied and the order of the Matrix A is m n order of Matrix B is n p Also state the condition under which two matrices can be mult?

the order is m p and the matrices can be multiplied if and only if the first one (matrix A) has the same number of columns as the second one (matrix B) has rows i.e)is Matrix A has n columns, then Matrix B MUST have n rows.Equal Matrix: Two matrices A=|Aij| and B=|Bij| are said to be equal (A=B) if and only if they have the same order and each elements of one is equal to the corresponding elements of the other. Such as A=|1 2 3|, B=|1 2 3|. Thus two matrices are equal if and only if one is a duplicate of the other.

No, in general they do not. They have the same eigenvalues but not the same eigenvectors.

22 matrix with 33 matrix multiplication?

It is not possible. The number of columns in the first matrix must be the same as the number of rows in the second. That is, matrices, X (kxl) and Y (mxn) can only be multiplied [in that order] if l = m.
