Answer:

The products MN and LN are not possible.

Step-by-step explanation:

Matrix multiplication is only possible when the column number of the first matrix equals the row number of the second matrix.

Now, matrix L is a 2 x 2 matrix and N is a 5 x 2 matrix. Now L has 2 columns and N has 5 rows. Meaning, that columns of L are not equal to the rows of N. Therefore, matrix multiplication is not possible.

Matrix M is 2 x 4 and matrix N is 2 x 2. Since columns of matrix M equal the rows of matrix N, matrix multiplication is possible.

Therefore,
