Really found a lot of trouble to find the solution.
But could not find how someone could solve it just using a size of 7.

What matlab functions are useful for this ? (I did it with a loop)

Good problem if you don't use repelem

I think the test should also check for column vectors and any vector with special variables Inf and NaN

Nice problem without using kron function

B = [ A A];
Is a valid answer! Your problem statement says nothing about the element in vector b being in order. Test 2 is correct for only one case.

Use repelem inbuilt function
