Provide solution for RD Sharma maths class12 Chapter Maxima and Minima exercise 17.5 question 13.
5cm
Hint: For maxima and minima we must have f'(x) =0
Given: For the question,
Solution: Let the side of the square to be xcm is cutoff.
Then, the l and b, h of the loon will be (45-x), (25-x),xcm
Volume of the box V = (45-x) (25-x)x
Divide by 12
Thus volume of the box is max when x = 5cm.
