उत्तर
Given, marginal revenue `("R"_"m") = 50` and price (P) = ₹ 75
using, Rm = p`(1 - 1/η)`
∴ 50 = 75 `(1 - 1/η)`
∴ `50/75 = 1 - 1/η`
∴ `2/3 = 1 - 1/η`
∴ `1/η = 1/3`
∴ η = 3
∴ elasticity of demand = 3

The manufacturing company produces x items at the total cost of ₹ 180 + 4x. The demand function for this product is P = (240 − 𝑥). Find x for which profit is increasing
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`

If elasticity of demand η = 0 then demand is ______.
If 0 < η < 1 then the demand is ______.
In a factory, for production of Q articles, standing charges are ₹500, labour charges are ₹700 and processing charges are 50Q. The price of an article is 1700 - 3Q. Complete the following activity to find the values of Q for which the profit is increasing.
Solution: Let C be the cost of production of Q articles.
Then C = standing charges + labour charges + processing charges
∴ C = `square`
Revenue R = P·Q = (1700 - 3Q)Q = 1700Q- 3Q2
Profit `pi = R - C = square`
Differentiating w.r.t. Q, we get
`(dpi)/(dQ) = square`
If profit is increasing , then `(dpi)/(dQ) >0`
∴ `Q < square`
Hence, profit is increasing for `Q < square`
