उत्तर
Total cost function (C) = 180 + 4x
Demand function (P) = 240 − x
Where x is the number of items produced.
Total revenue (R) = P × D
∴ R = x (240 − x)
∴ R = 240x − x2
Profit function π = R − C
∴ π = (240x − x2) − (180 + 4x)
∴ π = 240x − x2 − 180 − 4x
∴ π = − x2 + 236x − 180
Differentiating w.r.t.x,
∴ `"dπ"/"dx"` = − 2x + 236
Profit π is increasing if `"dπ"/"dx"` > 0
i.e. if − 2x + 236 > 0
i.e. if 236 > 2x
i.e. if x < `236/2`
i.e. if x < 118
∴ The profit is increasing for x < 118.

A manufacturing company produces x items at a total cost of ₹ 40 + 2x. Their price per item is given as p = 120 – x. Find the value of x for which revenue is increasing
Solution: Total cost C = 40 + 2x and Price p = 120 – x
Revenue R = `square`
Differentiating w.r.t. x,
∴ `("dR")/("d"x) = square`
Since Revenue is increasing,
∴ `("dR")/("d"x)` > 0
∴ Revenue is increasing for `square`
A manufacturing company produces x items at a total cost of ₹ 40 + 2x. Their price per item is given as p = 120 – x. Find the value of x for which profit is increasing
Solution: Total cost C = 40 + 2x and Price p = 120 − x
Profit π = R – C
∴ π = `square`
Differentiating w.r.t. x,
`("d"pi)/("d"x)` = `square`
Since Profit is increasing,
`("d"pi)/("d"x)` > 0
∴ Profit is increasing for `square`
A manufacturing company produces x items at a total cost of ₹ 40 + 2x. Their price per item is given as p = 120 – x. Find the value of x for which elasticity of demand for price ₹ 80.
Solution: Total cost C = 40 + 2x and Price p = 120 – x
p = 120 – x
∴ x = 120 – p
Differentiating w.r.t. p,
`("d"x)/("dp")` = `square`
∴ Elasticity of demand is given by η = `- "P"/x*("d"x)/("dp")`
∴ η = `square`
When p = 80, then elasticity of demand η = `square`
