उत्तर

\[\text { Let l, b and h be the length, breadth and height of the box, respectively.} \]

\[\text { Volume of the box} = c \]

\[\text { Given: }l = 2b ................\left( 1 \right)\]

\[ \Rightarrow c = lbh\]

\[ \Rightarrow c = 2 b^2 h\]

\[ \Rightarrow h = \frac{c}{2 b^2} . . . \left( 2 \right)\]

\[\text { Let cost of the material required for bottom be K } {/m}^2 .\]

\[\text { Cost of the material required for 4 walls and top } = Rs 3K {/m}^2 \]

\[\text { Total cost, T }= K\left( lb \right) + 3k\left( 2lh + 2bh + lb \right)\]

\[ \Rightarrow T = 2K b^2 + 3K\left( \frac{4bc}{2 b^2} + \frac{2bc}{2 b^2} + 2 b^2 \right) ................\left[ \text { From eqs } . \left( 1 \right) \text { and } \left( 2 \right) \right] \]

\[ \Rightarrow \frac{dT}{db} = 4Kb + 3K\left( \frac{- 3c}{b^2} + 4b \right)\]

\[\text { For maximum or minimum values of T, we must have }\]

\[\frac{dT}{db} = 0\]

\[ \Rightarrow 4kb + 3K\left( \frac{- 3c}{b^2} + 4b \right) = 0\]

\[ \Rightarrow 4b = 3\left( \frac{3c}{b^2} - 4b \right)\]

\[ \Rightarrow 4b = \left( \frac{9c}{b^2} - 12b \right)\]

\[ \Rightarrow 4b = \frac{9c - 12 b^3}{b^2}\]

\[ \Rightarrow 4 b^3 = 9c - 12 b^3 \]

\[ \Rightarrow 16 b^3 = 9c\]

\[ \Rightarrow b = \left( \frac{9c}{16} \right)^\frac{1}{3} \]

\[\text { Now,} \]

\[\frac{d^2 T}{d b^2} = 4K + 3K\left( \frac{6c}{b^3} + 4 \right)\]

\[ \Rightarrow \frac{d^2 T}{d b^2} = 4K + 3K\left( \frac{6c}{9c} \times 16 + 4 \right)\]

\[ \Rightarrow K\left( 4 + 3 \times \frac{44}{3} \right)\]

\[ \Rightarrow 48K > 0\]

\[ \therefore \text { Cost is minimum when b }= \left( \frac{9c}{16} \right)^\frac{1}{3} . \]

\[\text { Substituting b}= \left( \frac{9c}{16} \right)^\frac{1}{3} \text { in eq.}\left( 1 \right)\text { and }eq.\left( 2 \right)\]

\[ \Rightarrow l = 2 \left( \frac{9c}{16} \right)^\frac{1}{3} \]

\[h = \frac{c}{2 b^2}\]

\[ \Rightarrow h = \frac{c}{2 \left( \frac{9c}{16} \right)^\frac{2}{3}}\]

\[ \Rightarrow h = \left( \frac{32c}{81} \right)^\frac{1}{3} \]

\[\text { Thus, the most economic dimensions of the box are }l = 2 \left( \frac{9c}{16} \right)^\frac{1}{3} , b = \left( \frac{9c}{16} \right)^\frac{1}{3} \text { and h } = \left( \frac{32c}{81} \right)^\frac{1}{3} . \]
