Q5. If 
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:

If any row or column of a square matrix is 0 , then its product with itself is always a zero matrix.

Q6. Let A be any  matrix, then  can be found only when
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:

The product of any matrix with itself can be found only when it is a square matrix.i.e. m=n.

Q7. If A and B are any two matrices, then
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:

Let matrix A is of order m x n , and matrix B is of order p x q . then , the product AB is defined only when n = p. that’s why, If A and B are any two matrices, thenAB may or may not be defined.
