Answer:

Option: B is the correct answer.


B.\ \left[\begin{array}{ccc}6&24\\3.4&13\end{array}\right]

Explanation:

We are given two matrices A and B as follows:


A=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}3&0\\2&-1\end{array}\right]

and


B=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&8\\0.6&3\end{array}\right]

We know that the multiplication of two matrices of the type:


A=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}a&b\\c&d\end{array}\right]

and


B=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}a'&b'\\c'&d'\end{array}\right]

is given by:


AB=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}aa'+bc'&ab'+bd'\\ca'+dc'&cb'+dd'\end{array}\right]

Hence, here we have:


AB=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}3* 2+0* 0.6&3* 8+0* 3\\2* 2+(-1)* 0.6&2* 8+(-1)* 3\end{array}\right]

i.e.


AB=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}6+0&24+0\\4-0.6&16-3\end{array}\right]

i.e.


AB=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}6&24\\3.4&13\end{array}\right]
