उत्तर
Let the radius of the sphere = r
Radius of cone = R
Height of the cone = AM
= OA + OM
= r + r cos θ
= r(1 + cosθ)
where ∠BOM = θ
BC = diameter of the base of the cone
∴ Radius of cone = r sin θ
Volume of cone V = `1/3 pi (r sin theta)^2 xx r (1 + cos theta)` ....`[because "volume of cone" = 1/3 pir^2 h]`
`= 1/3 pir^3 sin^2 theta (1 + cos theta)`
On differentiating,
`(dV)/(d theta) = 1/3 pir^3 [2 sin theta cos theta (1 + cos theta) + sin^2 theta (- sin theta)]`
`= 1/3 pir^3 [2 sin theta cos theta (1 + cos theta) - sin^3 theta]`
`= 1/3 pir^3 sin theta [2 cos theta (1 + cos theta) - sin^2 theta]`
`= 1/3 pir^3 sin theta [2 cos theta + 2 cos^2 theta - 1+ cos^2 theta]`
`= 1/3 pir^3 sin theta [3 cos^2 theta + 2 cos theta - 1]`
`= 1/3 pir^3 sin theta (cos theta + 1)(3 cos theta - 1)`
For maximum and minimum, `(dV)/(d theta) = 0`
⇒ cos θ ≠ - 1
⇒ θ ≠ π
∴ (3 cos θ - 1) = 0
⇒ `cos theta = 1/3`
In the interval `(0, pi/2)` cos θ is decreasing, cos θ increases as θ decreases and decreases as θ increases.
⇒ at cos θ = `1/3`
The sign of `(dV)/(d theta)` changes from positive to negative as θ passes through this point.
Hence V is highest at this point.
Height of the cone = `r (1 + cos theta) = r(1 + 1/3)`
`= r xx 4/3`
= `(4r)/3`

The rectangle has area of 50 cm2. Complete the following activity to find its dimensions for least perimeter.
Solution: Let x cm and y cm be the length and breadth of a rectangle.
Then its area is xy = 50
∴ `y =50/x`
Perimeter of rectangle `=2(x+y)=2(x+50/x)`
Let f(x) `=2(x+50/x)`
Then f'(x) = `square` and f''(x) = `square`
Now,f'(x) = 0, if x = `square`
But x is not negative.
∴ `x = root(5)(2) "and" f^('')(root(5)(2))=square>0`
∴ by the second derivative test f is minimum at x = `root(5)(2)`
When x = `root(5)(2),y=50/root(5)(2)=root(5)(2)`
∴ `x=root(5)(2) "cm" , y = root(5)(2) "cm"`
Hence, rectangle is a square of side `root(5)(2) "cm"`
