Matrix \(R\) is a column matrix.

\begin{align*}
R=\begin{bmatrix}
T \\
A \\
L \\
L \\
Y
\end{bmatrix}
\end{align*}

A permutation matrix, \(P\), is multiplied by matrix \(R\) to form the product matrix  \(Q=P R\).

If \(Q\) is equal to \(R\), how many different permutation matrices could have been used?

\(Q=P R=R\)

\(\text{The identity matrix satisfies the equation (see \(P_1\) below).}\)

\(\text{Matrix \(R\) also remains the same if \(e_{31}\) and \(e _{41}\) are swapped (see \(P_2\) below).}\)
 

\(P_1=I=\begin{bmatrix}1 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0\end{bmatrix} \quad \text{or} \quad P_2=\begin{bmatrix}1 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \end{bmatrix}\)

\(\Rightarrow B\)

Matrix `P` is a 4 × 4 permutation matrix.

Matrix `W` is another matrix such that the matrix product `P × W` is defined.

This matrix product results in the entire first and third rows of matrix `W` being swapped.

The permutation matrix `P` is

A.  `[(0,0,0,1),(0,1,0,0),(0,0,1,0),(0,0,0,1)]` B.  `[(0,0,1,0),(0,1,0,0),(1,0,0,0),(0,0,0,1)]` C.  `[(1,0,0,0),(0,0,0,0),(1,0,0,0),(0,0,0,0)]`
           
D.  `[(1,0,0,0),(0,0,0,0),(0,0,1,0),(0,0,0,0)]` E.  `[(1,0,0,0),(0,1,0,0),(1,0,0,0),(0,0,0,1)]`
