उत्तर

\[\text {Suppose the wire, which is to be made into a square and a triangle, is cut into two pieces of length x and y, respectively . Then}, \]

\[x + y = 20 .......... \left( 1 \right)\]

\[\text { Perimeter of square }, 4\left( Side \right) = x\]

\[ \Rightarrow \text { Side } = \frac{x}{4}\]

\[\text { Area of square = }\left( \frac{x}{4} \right)^2 = \frac{x^2}{16}\]

\[\text { Perimeter of triangle }, 3\left( \text { Side } \right) = y\]

\[ \Rightarrow \text { Side } = \frac{y}{3}\]

\[\text { Area of triangle } = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} \times \left( \text { Side } \right)^2 = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} \times \left( \frac{y}{3} \right)^2 = \frac{\sqrt{3} y^2}{36}\]

\[\text { Now,} \]

\[z =\text {  Area of square + Area of triangle }\]

\[ \Rightarrow z = \frac{x^2}{16} + \frac{\sqrt{3} y^2}{36}\]

\[ \Rightarrow z = \frac{x^2}{16} + \frac{\sqrt{3} \left( 20 - x \right)^2}{36} .................\left[ \text { From eq } . \left( 1 \right) \right]\]

\[ \Rightarrow \frac{dz}{dx} = \frac{2x}{16} - \frac{2\sqrt{3}\left( 20 - x \right)}{36}\]

\[\text { For maximum or minimum values of z, we must have }\]

\[\frac{dz}{dx} = 0\]

\[ \Rightarrow \frac{2x}{16} - \frac{\sqrt{3}\left( 20 - x \right)}{18} = 0\]

\[ \Rightarrow \frac{9x}{4} = \sqrt{3}\left( 20 - x \right)\]

\[ \Rightarrow \frac{9x}{4} + x\sqrt{3} = 20\sqrt{3}\]

\[ \Rightarrow x\left( \frac{9}{4} + \sqrt{3} \right) = 20\sqrt{3}\]

\[ \Rightarrow x = \frac{20\sqrt{3}}{\left( \frac{9}{4} + \sqrt{3} \right)}\]

\[ \Rightarrow x = \frac{80\sqrt{3}}{\left( 9 + 4\sqrt{3} \right)}\]

\[ \Rightarrow y = 20 - \frac{80\sqrt{3}}{9 + 4\sqrt{3}} .............\left[ \text { From eq }. \left( 1 \right) \right]\]

\[ \Rightarrow y = \frac{180}{9 + 4\sqrt{3}}\]

\[ \frac{d^2 z}{d x^2} = \frac{1}{8} + \frac{\sqrt{3}}{18} > 0\]

\[\text { Thus, z is minimum when } x = \frac{80\sqrt{3}}{\left( 9 + 4\sqrt{3} \right)} \text { and }y = \frac{180}{9 + 4\sqrt{3}} . \]

\[\text { Hence, the wire of length 20 cm should be cut into two pieces of lengths }\frac{80\sqrt{3}}{\left( 9 + 4\sqrt{3} \right)} \text { m and } \frac{180}{9 + 4\sqrt{3}} m . \]
