Matrices XX, YY and ZZ have orders 4×34 \times 3, 3×23 \times 2 and 2×62 \times 6 respectively. (i) Determine the order of the product XYZXYZ. (ii) Calculate the total number of elements in each of the matrices XYXY, YZYZ and XYZXYZ. (iii) Find the ratio of the number of elements in XYXY to that in XYZXYZ. (iv) If all the entries of XYXY are replaced by their negatives, does the order of the matrix change? State the reason briefly.
