Answer 1

You can either store a reference to another array (or any type of object) in your array:

[myArray addObject:otherArray];

Or concatenate the arrays.

[myArray addObjectsFromArray:otherArray];

Both of which are documented in the documentation.

Answer 2

You add it like any other object.

NSMutableArray *innerArray = [NSMutableArray array];
NSMutableArray *outerArray = [NSMutableArray array];
[outerArray addObject:innerArray];

Answer 3

Since an array is just an object like any other:

[myContainerMutableArray addObject:someOtherArray];

Or if you want to concatenate them:

[myFirstMutableArray addObjectsFromArray:otherArray];

Answer 4

[YourArray addObjectsFromArray:OtherArray];

Answer 5

In case if you add the same NSMutableArray Object, Like

NSMutableArray *mutableArray1 = [[NSMutableArray alloc]initWithObjects:@"test1",@"test2",@"test3",nil];

NSMutableArray *mutableArray2 = [[NSMutableArray alloc]initWithObjects:@"test4",@"test5",@"test6", nil];

mutableArray1 = [NSMutableArray arrayWithArray:mutableArray1];

[mutableArray1 addObjectsFromArray:mutableArray2]; 

Nslog(@"mutableArray1 : %@",mutableArray1);
