The cost will we minimum when ‘x’ equal to: [1 Mark, Dec. 2010]
(a) 3
(b) 2
(c) 1
(d) 4
Answer:
(a) is correct.
∵ C(x) = 2x3 -15x2 + 36x + 15
Diff. on both side w.r.t. x; we get
C’ (X) = 6X2 – 30X + 36
C”(X) = 12X – 30
For maxima or minima
C'(X) = 0
∴ 6X2 – 30X + 36 = 0
X2 – 5X + 6 = 0
X2 – 3X – 2X + 6 = 0
X(X – 3) – 2(X – 3) = 0
(X – 3)(X – 2) = 0
so; x = 3; x = 2
Now C”(X = 3) = 12x3 – 30 = 6 >0
So; C (X) is minimum at x = 3

Mark, Dec. 2012]
(a) y = 2x – 13
(b) y = 10x
(c) y = 10x – 13
(d) y = 10
Answer:
(c) is correct. Given that

(dydx)(2,7) = 10
Slope of tangent m = (dydx)(2,7) = 10
The equation of tangent at (2, 7)
y – y1 = m(x – x1)

(b) (1,0) (1,1)
(c) (−13,2137)(0, 0)
(d) (0,0) (1,0)
Answer:
(a) is correct,
∵ y = x3 – x2 – x + 1
dydx = 3x2 – 2x – 1
∵ Tangent is parallel to x – axis
dydx = 0
3x2 – 2x – 1 = 0
or 3x2 – 3x + x – 1 = 0
or 3x(x – 1) + 1 (x – 1) = 0
or (x – 1) (3x + 1) = 0
∴ x = 1; x = -1/3
At x = 1
y = 13 – 12 – 1 + 1 = 0
∴ Point is (1; 0) and At x = -1/3
Question 34.
A seller makes an offer of selling certain articles that can be described by the
equation x = 25 – 2y where x is price per unit and y denotes the No. of units. The
cost price of the article is ₹ 10 per unit. The maximum quantity that can be
offered in single deal to avoid loss is: [1 Mark, Dec. 2013]
(a) 6
(b) 7
(c) 8
(d) 9
Answer:
(b) is correct,
∵ x = 25 – 2y
Total cost = Cost price per unit x No. of unit sold = 10y
Total sale = Selling price per unit xNo. of units sold
= x.y = (25 – 2y)y = 25y – 2yz
Profit = sale – Cost
= 25y – 2y2 – 10y = 15y – 2y2
For No loss; Profit > 0
15y – 2y2 >0
or 15 – 2y > 0
or 152 > y ⇒ y < 7.5
y = No. of units (a whole No.)
∴y=7
∴ Maximum Quantity sold y = 7

Answer:
(a)
Let
∵ C(x) = y = 2x3 – 15x2 + 36x + 15
dydx = 6x2 – 30x + 36
d2ydx2 = 12x – 30
If dydx = 0 ⇒ 6x2 – 30x + 36 = 0
