Need solution for RD Sharma maths class 12 chapter Maxima and Minima exercise 17.5 question 44.

Answers (1)

x =15, y = 10

Hint: For maxima and minima value of S, we must have \frac{dS}{dD}=0

Given:

Let x and y be the length and breadth of the rectangle

Area of page = 150

xy = 150

y = \frac{150}{x}             ......(1)

Solution:

Area of printed matter = (x-3)(y-2)

A=xy-2x-3y+6

A=150-2x-\frac{450}{x}+6

\frac{dA}{dx}=-2+\frac{450}{x^2}

\frac{dA}{dx}=0

-2+\frac{450}{x^2}=0

2x^2=450

x=15

Sub x=15 value in eqn (1)

y = 10

Now,

\frac{d^2A}{dx^2}=\frac{-900}{x^3}=\frac{-900}{(15)^3}

=\frac{-900}{3375}<0

Thus area of printed matter is max when x = 15 and y = 10
