The column space of $A$ is the whole of $R^m$ which is $12$ is this answer the right answer ?

          According to the hypothesis of your problem, for all fixed vector
          $
          b=begin{pmatrix} b_1 \vdots \ b_j\ vdots \b_{10} end{pmatrix}
          $

          in $mathbb{R}^{10}$ exists a vector
          $
          x=begin{pmatrix} x_1 \vdots \ x_j\ vdots \x_{12} end{pmatrix}
          $

          in $mathbb{R}^{12}$ such that the equality below is true
          $$
          begin{pmatrix}
          A_{11} & ldots & A_{1j} & ldots & A_{1,12}
          \
          vdots & ddots & vdots & ddots & vdots
          \
          A_{i1} & ldots & A_{ij} & ldots & A_{i,12}
          \
          vdots & ddots & vdots & ddots & vdots
          \
          A_{10,1} & ldots & A_{10,j} & ldots & A_{10,12}
          end{pmatrix}
          begin{pmatrix} x_1 \vdots \ x_j\ vdots \x_{12} end{pmatrix}
          =
          begin{pmatrix} b_1 \vdots \ b_j\ vdots \b_{10} end{pmatrix}
          $$

          By performing the multiplication of the matrix $A$ by the column matrix $x$ we have that the following statement is valid: for all fixed $binmathbb{R}^{10}$ there are numbers $x_1$, $ldots$, $x_j$, $ldots$, $x_{12}$ such that
          $$
          begin{pmatrix}
          x_1cdot A_{11}+& ldots &+x_jcdot A_{1j}+ & ldots &+x_{12}cdot A_{1,12}
          \
          vdots & ddots & vdots & ddots & vdots
          \
          x_1cdot A_{i1}+ & ldots &+x_jcdot A_{ij}+ & ldots &+x_{12}cdot A_{i,12}
          \
          vdots & ddots & vdots & ddots & vdots
          \
          x_1cdot A_{10,1}+ & ldots & +x_jcdot A_{10,j} +& ldots &+x_{12}cdot A_{10,12}
          end{pmatrix}
          =
          begin{pmatrix} b_1 \vdots \ b_j\ vdots \b_{10} end{pmatrix}
          $$

          Let the vector $A_j$ be the j-th column of matrix $A$.The last statement can then be rewritten as follows. For all vector $binmathbb{R}^{10}$ there are real numbers $x_1$, $ldots$, $x_j$, $ldots$, $x_{12}$ such that
          $$
          x_1 begin{pmatrix} A_{11} \vdots \ A_{i1}\ vdots \A_{10 ,1} end{pmatrix}
          +ldots +
          x_j begin{pmatrix} A_{1j} \vdots \ A_{ij}\ vdots \A_{10 ,j} end{pmatrix}
          +ldots +
          x_{12} begin{pmatrix} A_{1,12} \vdots \ A_{i,12}\ vdots \A_{10 ,12} end{pmatrix}
          =
          begin{pmatrix} b_{1} \vdots \ b_{j}\ vdots \b_{10} end{pmatrix}
          $$

          Since the vector $ b $ is arbitrary, it follows that the columns $A_1,ldots, A_{12} $ of $ A $ are vectors that generate the space $mathbb {R}^{10} $.

          If $A$ is a $10 times 12$ matrix then $A$ is the matrix associated with a linear transformation $T:mathbb{R}^{12}tomathbb{R}^{10}$. Since $Ax=b$ is solvable so it has full rank.



          Hence, Column Space ($A) = $ Range($T$) = $mathbb{R}^{10}$.

            @TheBeard: See if we go by the rules of matrix multiplication, we have $A$, which is $10times12$ matrix, is multiplied with $x$ which is $12times 1$ matrix giving $b$ which should be a $10times 1 $ matrix or $bin mathbb{R}^{10}$.

          $begingroup$

          Your answer is not correct. The maximum rank of $A$ can be only $10$. Since $AX=b$ has a solution for every $b$, this means the rank of $A$ must be $10$. Thus two ($12-10=2$) columns must be free. This means the column space is $Bbb{R}^{10}$.

          Let the vector $A_j$ be the j-th column of matrix $A$.The last statement can then be rewritten as follows. For all vector $binmathbb{R}^{10}$ there are real numbers $x_1$, $ldots$, $x_j$, $ldots$, $x_{12}$ such that
          $$

          If $A$ is a $10 times 12$ matrix then $A$ is the matrix associated with a linear transformation $T:mathbb{R}^{12}tomathbb{R}^{10}$. Since $Ax=b$ is solvable so it has full rank.



          Hence, Column Space ($A) = $ Range($T$) = $mathbb{R}^{10}$.

          Your answer is not correct. The maximum rank of $A$ can be only $10$. Since $AX=b$ has a solution for every $b$, this means the rank of $A$ must be $10$. Thus two ($12-10=2$) columns must be free. This means the column space is $Bbb{R}^{10}$.
