उत्तर
Let x cm be the length of each side of the square which is to be cut off from each corner of the square tin sheet of side 18 cm.
Let V be the volume of the open box formed by folding up the flaps, then
V = x (18 - 2x) (18 - 2x) = 4x (9 - x)2
= 4 (x3 - 18x2 + 81x)

Differentiate w.r.t.x., we get
`(dV)/dx = 4(3x^2 - 36x + 81) = 12 (x^2 - 12x + 27)`
For maximum / minimum volume
`(dV)/dx = 0`
⇒ 12 (x2 - 12x + 27) = 0
⇒ 12 (x - 3) (x - 9) = 0
⇒ x = 3, 9 but 0 < x < 9
⇒ x = 3
`((d^2V)/dx^2) = 12 (2x - 12) = 24 (x - 6)`
and `((d^2V)/dx^2)_(x=3) = 24 (3 - 6) = -72 <0`
⇒ V has a maximum at x = 3
Hence, the volume of the box is at its maximum when the side of the square to be cut off is 3 cm.
