Answer

Given: $\text{P}=\begin{bmatrix}\text{x}&0&0\\0&\text{y}&0\\0&0&\text{z}\end{bmatrix}$ and $\text{Q}=\begin{bmatrix}\text{a}&0&0\\0&\text{b}&0\\0&0&\text{c}\end{bmatrix}$
Now,
$\text{P}\text{Q}=\begin{bmatrix}\text{x}&0&0\\0&\text{y}&0\\0&0&\text{z}\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}\text{a}&0&0\\0&\text{b}&0\\0&0&\text{c}\end{bmatrix}$
$ =\begin{bmatrix}\text{xa}+0+0&0+0+0&0+0+0\\0+0+0&0+\text{y}\text{b}+0&0+0+0\\0+0+0&0+0+0&0+0+\text{zc}\end{bmatrix}$
$ =\begin{bmatrix}\text{xa}&0&0\\0&\text{y}\text{b}&0\\0&0&\text{zc}\end{bmatrix}\ \dots(4)$
Also,
$\text{Q}\text{P}=\begin{bmatrix}\text{a}&0&0\\0&\text{a}&0\\0&0&\text{a}\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}\text{x}&0&0\\0&\text{y}&0\\0&0&\text{z}\end{bmatrix}$
$=\begin{bmatrix}\text{ax}+0+0&0+0+0&0+0+0\\0+0+0&0+\text{by}+0&0+0+0\\0+0+0&0+0+0&0+0+\text{cz}\end{bmatrix}$
$=\begin{bmatrix}\text{xa}&0&0\\0&\text{y}\text{b}&0\\0&0&\text{zc}\end{bmatrix}\ \dots(5)$
From (4) and (5), we get
$\text{PQ}=\begin{bmatrix}\text{xa}&0&0\\0&\text{y}\text{b}&0\\0&0&\text{zc}\end{bmatrix}=\text{QP}$
