उत्तर
Given, the cost function is
C = 100 + 600x - 3x2
∴ `"dC"/"dx" = 0 + 600 - 6"x"`
= 600 - 6x
= 6(100 - x)
Since total cost C is a decreasing function,
`"dC"/"dx" < 0`
∴ 6(100 - x) < 0
∴ 100 - x < 0
∴ 100 < x
∴ x > 100
∴ The total cost is decreasing for x > 100.

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 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`

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`
