उत्तर

Let x be the length, y be the breadth of the rectangle and r be the radius of the semicircle. Then perimeter of the window
Then perimeter of the window = x + 2y + πr, where x = 2r
This is given to be m
∴ 2r + 2y + πr = 30
2y = 30 – (π + 2)r
∴ y = `15 - ((pi + 2)r)/(2)` ...(1)
The greatest possible amount of light may be admitted if the area of the window is maximum. Let A be the area of the window.
Then A = `xy + (pir^2)/(2)`
= `2yr + (pir^2)/(2)` ...[∵ x = 2r]
= `2r[15 - ((pi + 2))/2] + (pir^2)/(2)` ...[By (1)]
= `30r - (pi + 2)r^2 + pi/(2)r^2`
= `30r - (pi + 2 - pi/2)r^2`
∴ A = `30r - ((pi + 4)/2)r^2`
∴ `"dA"/"dr" = d/"dr"[30r - ((pi + 4)/2)r^2]`
= `30 xx 1 - ((pi + 4)/2) xx 2r`
= 30 – (π + 4)r
and
`(d^2"A")/"dr" = d/"dr"[30 -(pi + 4)r]`
= `0 - (pi + 4) xx 1`
= – (π + 4)
For maximum A, `"dA"/"dr"` = 0
∴ 30 – (π + 4)r = 0
∴ r = `(30)/(pi + 4)`
and
`((d^2"A")/("dr"))_("at" r = (30)/(pi + 4)) = - (pi + 4) < 0`
∴ A is s maximum when r = `(30)/(pi + 4)`
When r = `(30)/(pi + 4) x = 2 = (60)/(pi + 4)`
and
y = `15 - ((pi + 2))/(2) xx (30)/(pi + 4)` ...[By (1)]
= `(30pi + 120 - 30pi - 60)/(2(pi + 4)`
= `(30)/(pi + 4)`
Hence, the required dimensions of the window are as follows :
Length of rectangle = `((60)/(pi + 4))` metres,
breadth of rectangle = `((30)/(pi + 4))` metres and
radius of the semicircle = `((30)/(pi + 4))` metres.
