generates in km per hour. If the fuel cost ₹ 48 per hour at speed 16 km/h and the
fixed charges to run the train amount to ₹ 1200 per hour.

Assume the speed of the train as v km/h.

Case Study 2
In a residential society comprising of 100 houses, there were 60 children between the
ages of 10-15 years. They were inspired by their teachers to start composting to
ensure that biodegradable waste is recycled. For this purpose, instead of each child
doing it for only his/her house, children convinced the Residents welfare association
to do it as a society initiative. For this, they identified a square area in the local park.
Local authorities charged amount of ₹ 50 per square metre for space so that there is
no misuse of the space and Resident welfare association takes it seriously.
Association hired a labourer for digging out 250 m³ and he charged ₹ 400 × (depth)².

Association will like to have minimum cost.
