Concept:

 If A and B are two matrices such that the no. of columns of A is equal to the no. of rows of B. If A = [aij] is a m × n matrix and B = [bij] be a n × p matrix, then the product AB is the resultant matrix of order m × p and is defined as:

Calculation:

Given: A 

Here, we have to find the value of k such that 

As the two matrices are equal, their corresponding elements are also equal.

Comparing the corresponding elements:

4k = 28 ⇒ k = 7

∴ The value of k is 7.
