उत्तर

Let x be the side of square base and h be the height of the box.
Then x2 + 4xh = a2

∴ h = `(a^2 - x^2)/(4x)`                    ...(1)

Let V be the volume of the box.

Then V = x2h

∴ V = `x^2((a^2- x^2)/(4x))`           ...[By (1)]

∴ V = `(1)/(4)(a^2x - x^3)`               ...(2)

∴ `"dV"/dx = (1)/(4)"d"/"dx"(a^2x - x^3)`

= `(1)/(4)(a^2 xx 1 - 3x^2)`

= `(1)/(4)(a^2 - 3x^2)`

and

`(d^2V)/(dx^2) = (1)/(4).d/dx(a^2 - 3x^2)`

= `(1)/(4)(0 - 3 xx 2x)`

= `-(3)/(2)x`

Now, `"dV"/dx = 0  "gives" (1)/(4)(a^2 - 3x^2)` = 0

∴ a2 – 3x2 = 0

∴ 3x2 = a2

∴ x2 = `a^2/(3)`

∴ x = `a/sqrt(3)`       ...[∵ x > 0]

and

`((d^2V)/dx^2)_("at" x = a/sqrt(3)`

= `-(3)/(2) xx a/sqrt(3)`

= `-sqrt(3)/(2) a < 0`

∴ V is maximum when x = `a/sqrt(3)`

From (2), maximum volume = `[1/4(a^2x - x^3)]_("at" x = a/sqrt3)`

= `(1)/(4)(a^2 xx a/sqrt(3) - a^3/(3sqrt(3)))`

= `(1)/(4)((2a^3)/(3sqrt(3)))`

= `a^3/(6sqrt(3)`

Hence, the maximum volume of the box is `a^3/(6sqrt(3)`  cu. unit.

If Mr. Rane order x chairs at the price p = (2x2 - 12x - 192) per chair. How many chairs should he order so that the cost of deal is minimum?

Solution: Let Mr. Rane order x chairs.

Then the total price of x chairs = p·x = (2x2 - 12x- 192)x

= 2x3 - 12x2 - 192x

Let f(x) = 2x3 - 12x2 - 192x

∴ f'(x) = `square` and f''(x) = `square`

f'(x ) = 0 gives x = `square` and f''(8) = `square` > 0

∴ f is minimum when x = 8

Hence, Mr. Rane should order 8 chairs for minimum cost of deal.
