Acquiring related Matrix Members

I have a n by m matrix A and 1 by n array B. Assume
A = rand(3,5)
B = [3;5;2]
How can I get 1st rows 3rd element, 2nd rows 5th element and 3rd rows 2. element of A matrix w/o for loop?
Each rows related element is the member of B array as you can see?

A(sub2ind(size(A),1:length(B),B(:)'))
or
A((1:length(B))+(B(:)'-1)*size(A,1))

out = A(sub2ind(size(A),(1:numel(B))',B(:)));
