A null matrix is a matrix with all its elements zero.

EXAMPLES : (0 0) is a null row matrix.

(0 0)

(0 0) is a null square matrix.

NOTE : Text handling limitations prevent the printing of large brackets to enclose the matrix array. Two pairs of smaller brackets have therefore been used.

Answer 2:

The above answer is a null matrix. However, the nullity of a matrix is the dimension of the kernel. Rank + Nullity = Dimension. So if you have a 4x4 matrix with rank of 2, the nullity must be 2. This nullity is the number of "free variables" you have. A 4x4 matrix is 4 simultaneous equations. If it is rank 2, you have only two independent equations and the other two are dependent. To solve a system of equations, you must have n independent equations for n variables. So the nullity tells you how short you are in terms of equations.
