ANSWER

True

Step-by-step explanation

We want to verify if matrices of different orders can sometimes be multiplied.

The order of a matrix refers to the configuration of the rows and columns of the matrix.

For matrix multiplication to occur, the dimensions of the matrices must be compatible. In other words, the number of columns inn the first matrix must be the same as the number of rows in the second matrix.

This is not affected by the number of rows in the first matrix or the number of columns in the second matrix.

Hence, under the right condition, matrices of different orders can sometimes be multiplied.

The answer is True.
