The above information can be arranged in the given tabular form:
Oranges Apples
Ganga 12 5
Hemant 10 7
Gargi 5 2
And this can be represented as:
é
Row 1 12 5 ù ú
ê
ê
Row 2 10 7 ú
ê ú

Row 3 5 2ú
ë û
Col1 Col2
The entries in the rows represent number of oranges and apples bought by Ganga, Hemant, and Gargi respectively. It
can also be represented in another form as:
é 12 10 5 –Row1
ù
ê ú
ê 5 7 2 –Row 2

Here, the entries in the columns represent the number of oranges and apples bought by Ganga, Hemant, and Gargi
respectively.
We denote matrices by capital letters. For example:
é 7 ù

Order of Matrix
A matrix having m rows and n columns is called a matrix of the order m × n or simply m × n matrix (read as an m by
n matrix). So, referring to the above example, matrix A is a 3 × 2 matrix. The number of elements present in a matrix
is given by m × n ⇒ 3 × 2 = 6 elements.
Each individual element is represented as a where i represents row and j represents column.

A = a 11 a 12 a 13

In general, a , is an element lying in the i row and j column. We can also call it as the (i, j ) element of the matrix.
