उत्तर
Given, demand function is D = 50 – 3p – p2
∴ `(dD)/(dp) = 0 - 3 - 2p`
= `- 3 - 2p`
`eta = (-p)/D * (dD)/(dp)`
∴ `eta = (-p)/(50 - 3p - p^2) * (- 3 - 2p)`
∴ `eta = (3p + 2p^2)/(50 - 3p - p^2)`
When p = 5
`eta = (3(5) + 2(5)^2)/(50 - 3(5) - (5)^2)`
= `(15 + 50)/(50 - 15 - 25)`
= `65/10`
∴ η = 6.5
∴ elasticity of demand at p = 5 is 6.5
Here, η > 0
∴ The demand is elastic.

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`
