उत्तर

Let r be the radius of the base, h be the height and V be the volume of the closed right circular cylinder, whose surface area is a2 sq. units (which is given).
∴ 2πrh + 2πr2 = a2
∴ 2πr(h + r) = a2
∴ h = `a^2/(2πr) - r` ...(1)
Now, V = πr2h
= `πr^2(a^2/(2πr) - r)` ...[By (1)]
= `(1)/(2)a^2r - πr^3`
∴ `(dV)/(dr) = d/(dr)(1/2a^2r - πr^3)`
= `(1)/(2)a^2 xx 1 - π xx 3r^2`
= `a^2/(2) - 3πr^2`
and
`(d^2V)/(dr^2) = d/(dr)(a^2/2 - 3πr^2)`
= 0 – 3π × 2r
= – 6πr
For maximum volume,
`(dV)/(dr)` = 0
∴ `a^2/(2) - 3πr^2` = 0
∴ 3πr2 = `a^2/(2)`
∴ r2 = `a^2/(6π)`
∴ r = `a/sqrt(6π)` ...[∵ r > 0]
and
`((d^2V)/(dx^2))_(at r = a/sqrt(6π)`
= `- 6π(a/sqrt(6π)) < 0`
∴ V is maximum when r = `a/sqrt(6π)`
When r = `a/sqrt(6π)`, then from (1),
h = `a^2/(2π xx a/sqrt(6π)) - a/sqrt(6π)`
= `sqrt(6πa)/(2π) - a/sqrt(6π)`
= `(6πa - 2πa)/(2πsqrt(6π)`
= `(4πa)/(2πsqrt(6π)`
= `(2a)/sqrt(6π)`
∴ h = 2r
Hence, the volume of the cylinder is maximum if its height is equal to the diameter of the base.

Let f(x) be the area of rectangle in terms of x, then
f(x) = `square`
∴ f'(x) = `square`
∴ f''(x) = `square`

x = `square`
∴ f''`(square)` = – 2 < 0
∴ Area is maximum when x = `square`, y = `square`
∴ Dimensions of rectangle are `square`

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.
