Application Of Derivatives Class 12 MCQ

sin θ = \(\frac{x}{500}\) and cos θ = \(\frac{y}{500}\)
⇒ x = 500 sin θ and y = 500 cos θ
Also, \(\frac{dθ}{dt}\) = 10 cm/s
= 500.cos θ \(\frac{dx}{dt}\) = 10 cm/s
⇒ \(\frac{d \theta}{d t}=\frac{10}{500 \cos \theta}=\frac{1}{50 \cos \theta}\)
For y = 2 m = 200cm,
\(\frac{dθ}{dt}\) = \(\frac{1}{50 \cdot \frac{y}{500}}\)
= \(\frac{10}{y}\)
= \(\frac{10}{200}\)
= \(\frac{1}{20}\) rad/s

The curve y = \(x^{1 / 5}\) has at (0, 0)
(A) a vertical tangent (parallel lo y.axis)
(B) a horizontal tangent (parallel to x-axis)
(C) an oblique tangent
(D) no tangent
Answer:
(A) a vertical tangent (parallel lo y.axis)

Explanation:
Given that, y = x\(x^{1 / 5}\)
On differentiating with respect to x, we get
\(\frac{dx}{dt}\) = \(\frac{1}{5}\)x\(x^{1 / 5}\) = \(\frac{1}{5}\)\(x^{-4 / 5}\)
∴ \(\frac{dx}{dt}\)(0,0) = \(\frac{1}{5}\) x (0)\(x^{-4 / 5}\) = ∞
So, the curve y = \(x^{1 / 5}\) has a vertical tangent at (0, 0), which is parallel to y-axis.

MCQ Of Application Of Derivatives Class 12 Chapter 6 Question 6.
The equation of normal to the curve 3x2 – y2 = 8 which is parallel to the line x + 3y = 8 is
(A) 3x – y = 8
(A) 3x + y + 8 = 0
(C) x + 3y ± 8 = 0
(D) x + 3y = 0
Answer:
(C) x + 3y ± 8 = 0

Explanation :
We have, the equation of the curve 1s 3 x 1 – y2 = 8
Also, the given equation of the line is x + 3y = 8.
⇒ 3y = 8 – x
⇒ y = – \(\frac{x}{3}\) + \(\frac{8}{3}\)
Thus, slope of the line is – \(\frac{1}{3}\) which should be equal to slope of the equation of normal to the curve. On differentiating equation (1) with respect to x,
we get
6x – 2y = 0

⇒ \(\frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{6 x}{2 y}=\frac{3 x}{y}\) = Slope of the curve
Now, slope of normal to the curve
= \(-\frac{1}{\left(\frac{d y}{d x}\right)}\)
= \(\frac{1}{\left(\frac{3 x}{y}\right)}\)
= – \(\frac{y}{3x}\)
∴ \(-\left(\frac{y}{3 x}\right)=-\frac{1}{3}\)
= -3y = -3x
= y = x
On substituting the value of the given equation of the curve, we get
3x2 – x2 = 8
2x2 = 8
x2 = 4
⇒ x ± 2
For x = 2
3(2)2 – y2 = 8
⇒ y2 = 4
⇒ y2 = ± 2
and for x = -2
3 (2)2 – y2 = 8
⇒ y2 = 4
y = ±2
So, the points at which normal is parallel to the
given line are (±2, ±2).
Hence, the equation of normal at (±2, ±2) is
= y – (±2) = \(\frac{1}{3}\)[x – (±2)]
= 3[(y – (±2)] = -[(x-(±2)]
∴ x + 3y ± 8 = 0

Class 12 Maths Chapter 6 MCQ Question 7.
If the curve ay + x2 =7 and x3 = y. cut orthogonally at (1, 1), then the value of a is:
(A) 1
(B) 0
(C) – 6
(D) 6
Answer:
(D) 6

Explanation :
Given that, ay + x2 = 7 and x2 = y on differentiating both equations with respect to x we get
a \(\frac{dy}{dx}\) + 2x = 0 and 3x2 = \(\frac{dy}{dx}\)
⇒ \(\frac{dy}{dx}\) = –\(\frac{2x}{a}\) and \(\frac{dy}{dx}\) = 3x2
\(\frac{dy}{dx}\) = \(\frac{-2}{a}\) = m2
Since, the curve cuts orthogonally at (1, 1).
∴ m1 m2 = -1
⇒ \(\frac{-2}{a}\).3 = -1
∴ a = 6

Applications Of Derivatives Class 12 MCQ Chapter 6 Question 8.
The equation of tangent to the curve
y(1 + x2) = 2 – x, where it crosses x-axis is:
(A) x + 5y = 2
(B) x – 5y = 2
(C) 5x – y = 2
(D) 5x + y = 2
Answer:
(A) x + 5y = 2

Explanation:
Given that the equation of curve is
y(1 + x3) = 2 – x ……….(i)
On differentiating with respect to x, we get
∴ y.(0 + 2x) + (1 + x2) \(\frac{dy}{dx}\) = 0 – 1

⇒ 2xy + (1 + x2) = -1
\(\frac{dy}{dx}\) = \(\frac{-1-2 x y}{1+x^{2}}\) ……….(ii)
Since, the given curve passes through x-axis,
i.e., y = 0
0(1 + x2) = 2 – x [By using EQuestion (i)]
⇒ x = 2
So the curve passes through the point (2,0).
∴ \(\frac{dy}{dx}\)(2,0) = \(\frac{-1-2 \times 0}{1+2^{2}}\) = –\(\frac{1}{5}\) = Slope of the curve
∴ Slope of tangent to the curve = –\(\frac{1}{5}\)
∴ Equation of tangent to the curve passing through (2,0) is

MCQ On Derivatives Class 12 Chapter 6 Question 9.
The points at which the tangents to the curve y = x3 – 12x + 18 are parallel to x – axis are:
(A) (2, -2), (-2, -34)
(B) (0,34), (-2,0)
(C) (2, 34), (-2,0)
(D) (2, 2), (-2,34)
Answer:
(D) (2, 2), (-2,34)

Explanation :
The equation of the curve is given by
y = x3 – 12x + 18
On differentiating with respect to x, we get
∴ \(\frac{dy}{dx}\) = 3x2 – 12
So, the slope of line parallel to the x-axis,
\(\frac{dy}{dx}\) = 0
⇒ 3x3 – 12 = 0
⇒ x2 = \(\frac{12}{3}\)
⇒ x2 = 4
∴ x = ±2
For x = 2,
y = 23 – 12x2 + 18 = 2
and for x = -2,
y = (-2) -12x(-2) + 18 = 34
So, the points are (2,2) and (-2, 34).

The tangent to the curve y = e2x at the point (0, 1) meets x-axis at:
(A) (0,1)
(B) (- \(\frac{1}{2}\),o)
(C) (2,0)
(D) (0,2)
Answer:
(B) (- \(\frac{1}{2}\),o)

Explanation :
The equation of the curve is given by y = e2x
Since, it passes through the point (0,1).
∴ \(\frac{dy}{dx}\) = e2x.2
= 2 e2x
\(\frac{dy}{dx}\)(0,1) = 2e2.0 = 2
= Slope of tangent to the curve.
∴ Equation of tangent is
y – 1 = 2(x – 0)
y = 2x + 1
Since, tangent to the curve y = e2x at the point
(0, 1) meets x-axis, i.e. y = 0.
∴ 0 = 2x + 1
x = – \(\frac{1}{2}\)
so the required Point is (- \(\frac{1}{2}\), o).

y = x(x – 3)2 decreases for the values of x given by:
(A) 1 < x < 3
(B) x < 0 (C) x > 0
(D) 0 < x < \(\frac {3}{2}\)
Answer:
(A) 1 < x < 3

Explanation:
Given that,
y = x(x – 3)2
∴ \(\frac{dy}{dx}\) = x.2 (x – 3).1 + (x – 3)2.1
= 2x2 – 6x + x2 + 9 – 6x
= 3x2 – 12x + 9
= 3(x2 – 3x – x + 3)
= 3(x – 3)(x – 1)
So, y = x(x – 3)2 decreases for(1,3).
[Since, y’ < 0 for all x ∈ (1, 3), hence y is decreasing on (1,3)].

MCQ Questions On Application Of Derivatives Chapter 6 Question 13.
The function f(x) = 4 sin3x – 6 sin2x + 12 sin x + 100 is strictly
(A) increasing in (π, \(\frac{3π}{2}\))
(B) decreasing in (\(\frac{3π}{2}\), π)
(C) decreasing in (\(\frac{-π}{2}\),\(\frac{π}{2}\))
(D) decreasing in (0, \(\frac{π}{2}\))
Answer:
(B) decreasing in (\(\frac{3π}{2}\), π)

Explanation:
Given that,
f(x) = 4 sin3 x – 6 sin2x + 12 sin x + 100
On differentiating with respect to x, we get
f'(x) = 12 sin2 x. cos x – 12 sin x. cos x + 12 cos x
= 12[sin2x.cos x – sin x.cos x + cos x ]
= 12 cos x[sin2 x – sin x + 1]
⇒ f'(x) = 12 cos x[sin2 x + 1(1 – sin x)]
⇒ 1 – sin x ≥ 0 and sin2 x ≥ 0
⇒ sin2 x + 1 – sin x ≥ 0

Hence, f'(x) > 0, when cos x >0, i.e, x ∈\(\left(\frac{-\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2}\right)\)
So.f(x) is increasing when x ∈ \(\left(\frac{-\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2}\right)\)
and f (x) < 0, when cos x < 0, i.e., x ∈\(\left(\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{3 \pi}{2}\right)\)
Hence, f’ (x) is decreasing when x ∈\(\left(\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{3 \pi}{2}\right)\)
Since \(\left(\frac{\pi}{2}, \pi\right)\)∈\(\left(\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{3 \pi}{2}\right)\)
Hence,f(x) is decreasing in\(\left(\frac{\pi}{2}, \pi\right)\)

If x is real, the minimum value of x2 – 8x + 17 is
(A) -1
(B) 0
(C) 1
(D) 2
Answer:
(C) 1

Explanation:
Let,
f(x) = x2 – 8x + 17
On differentiating with respect to x, we get
f’(x) = 2x – 8
So, f'(x) = 0
2x – 8 = 0
So, f’(x) = 0
2x – 8 = 0
2x = 8
∴ x = 4
Now, Again on differentiating with respect to x,
we get
f'(x) = 2 > 0,∀x
So,x = 4 is the point of local minimum.
Minimum value of f(x) at x = 4
f(4) = 44 – 84 + 17 = 1

(A) 126
(B) 0
(C) 135
(D) 160
Answer:
(B) 0

Explanation:
Given that, the smallest value of
polynomial is f(x) = x3 – 8x2 + 96x
On differentiating with respect to x we get
f'(x) = 3x2 – 36 x + 96
So,
f’(x) = 0
3x2 – 36x + 96 = 0
= 3(x2 – 12x + 32) = 0
(x – 8)(x – 4) = 0
x = 8,4 ∈[0,9]
We shall now calculate the value of f(x) at these points and at the end points of the interval [0, 9]
Le., at x = 4 and x = 8 and at x = 0 and at x = 9.
f(4) = 43 – 18 × 42 + 96 × 4
= 64 – 288 + 384 = 160
f(8) = 83 – 18 × 82 + 96 × 8 = 128
f(9) = 93 -18 × 92 + 96 × 9
=729 – 1458 + 864 = 135
and f(0) = 03 – 18 x 02 +96 x 0 = 0
Thus, we conclude that absolute minimum value of fix) in 10,91 is 0 occurring at x 0.

The maximum value of sin x. cos x is
(A) \(\frac {1}{4}\)
(B) \(\frac {1}{2}\)
(C) \(\sqrt{2}\)
(D) \(2 \sqrt{2}\)
Answer:
(B) \(\frac {1}{2}\)

Explanation:
Let us assume that,
f(x)= sin x.cos x
Now, we know that
sin x. cos x = \(\frac {1}{2}\) sin2x
∴ f'(x) = \(\frac {1}{2}\) cos 2x. 2 = cos2x
Now, f'(x) = 0
⇒ cos 2x = 0
⇒ cos 2x = cos \(\frac {π}{2}\)
x = \(\frac {π}{4}\)
Also f”(x) = \(\frac {d}{dx}\).cos 2x = -2 sin 2x
∴ \(\left[f^{\prime \prime}(x)\right]_{\text {at } x=\frac{\pi}{4}}\) = -2 sin 2. \(\frac {π}{4}\)
= – 2 sin \(\frac {π}{2}\)
= – 2<0
∴ x \(\frac {π}{4}\) is point of maxiuma.
f(\(\frac {π}{4}\)) = \(\frac {1}{2}\).sin.2\(\frac {π}{4}\)
= \(\frac {1}{2}\)

Question 21.
Maximum slope of the cwve y = -x3 + 3x2 + 9x -27 is:
(A) 0
(B) 12
(C) 16
(D) 32
Answer:
(B) 12

Explanation:
Given that,
y = -x3 + 3x2 + 9x – 27
∴\(\frac {dy}{dx}\) = -3x2 + 6x + 9
= Slope of the curve
and \(\frac{d^{2} y}{d x^{2}}\) = -6x + 6 = -6(x – 1)
∴\(\frac{d^{2} y}{d x^{2}}\) = -6x + 6 = -6(x – 1)
∴\(\frac{d^{2} y}{d x^{2}}\) = 0
⇒ -6(x – 1) = 0
x = 1 > 0
Now, \(\frac{d^{2} y}{d x^{2}}\) = -6 < 0
So, the maximum slope of given curve is at x = 1.
∴\(\left(\frac{d y}{d x}\right)_{(x=1)}\) = -3 x 12 +6 x 1 + 9 = 12

Question 22.
The maximum value of \(\left(\frac{1}{x}\right)^{x}\) is:
(A) e
(B) e x
(C) \(e^{1 / e}\)
(D) \(\left(\frac{1}{e}\right)^{1 / e}\)
Answer:
(C) \(e^{1 / e}\)

Explanation:
Let y = \(\left(\frac{1}{x}\right)^{x}\)
log y = x. log \(\frac{1}{x}\)
∴ \(\frac{1}{y} \cdot \frac{d y}{d x}\) = \(x \cdot \frac{1}{\frac{1}{x}} \cdot\left(-\frac{1}{x^{2}}\right)+\log \frac{1}{x}, 1\)
= -1 + log \(\frac{1}{x}\)
∴ \(\frac{d y}{d x}=\left(\log \frac{1}{x}-1\right) \cdot\left(\frac{1}{x}\right)^{x}\)
Now, \(\frac{dy}{dx}\) = 0
⇒ log \(\frac{1}{x}\) = 1 = loge
⇒ \(\frac{1}{x}\) = e
⇒ x = \(\frac{1}{e}\)
Hence, the maximum value of f = \(\frac{1}{e}\) = \((e)^{1 / e}\)

R is the correct explanation of A.

Question 2.
The radius r of a right circular cylinder is increasing at the rate of 5 cm/mm and its height h, is decreasing at the rate of 4 cm/min.
Assertion (A): When r = 8cm and h = 6 cm, the rate of change of volume of the cylinder is 224 π cm3/min
Reason (R): The volume of a cylinder is V =\(\frac {1}{3}\) πr2h
Answer:
(C) A is true but R is false

Explanation:
The volume of a cylinder is V = πr2h
So R is false.
\(\frac {dr}{dt}\) = 5cm/min, \(\frac {dh}{dt}\) = -4 cm/min
V = πr2h
\(\frac {dV}{dt}\) = π\(\left(r^{2} \frac{d h}{d t}+2 h r \frac{d r}{d t}\right)\)
\(\frac {dV}{dt}\) = π[64 × (-4) + 2 × 6 × 8 × 5]
\(\left.\frac{d V}{d t}\right)_{r=8, h=6}\) = 224 π cm3 /mm
∴ Volume is increasing at the rate of 224 π cm3 /mm
∴ A is true.

Reason (R): At the points (2 ) and (-2, -1) the ordinate changes two times as fast as the abscissa.
Answer:
(D) A is false and R is True

Explanation:
On Y axis, x = 0. The curve meets the Y axis at
only one point, i.e., (o,\(\frac{1}{3},\) ).
Hence A is false.
6y = x3 + 2
or 6\(\frac{d y}{d t}\) = 3x2\(\frac{dx}{d t}\)
Given, \(\frac{d y}{d t}\) = 2 \(\frac{dx}{d t}\)
or 12 = 3x2
or x = ±2
Put x = 2 and -2 in the given equation to get y
∴ The points are (2,\(\frac{5}{3},\))(-2 -1)
R is true.

Question 5.
Assertion (A): At x =\(\frac{π}{6}\), the curve y = 2cos2 (3x) has a vertical tangent.
Reason (R): The slope of tangent to the curve
y = 2cos2 (3x) at x = \(\frac{π}{6}\) is zero.
Answer:
(D) A is false and R is True

Explanation:
Given y = 2cos2(3x)
\(\frac{π}{6}\) = 2 × 2 × cos(3x) × (- sin 3x) x 3
\(\frac{dy}{dx}\) = -6 sin 6x
\(\left.\frac{d y}{d x}\right]_{x=\frac{\pi}{6}}\) = -6 sin π
= -6 × 0
= 0
∴ R is true.
Since the slope of tangent is zero, the tangent is parallel to the X – axis. That is the curve has a horizontal tangent at x = \(\frac{π}{6}\) Hence A is false.

Question 6.
Assertion (A): The equation of tangent to the curve y = sin x at the point (0, 0) is y = x.
Reason(R): If y = sin x, then at x = 0 is 1.
Answer:
Option (A) is correct.

Explanation:
Given y = sin x
\(\frac{dy}{dx}\) = cos x
Slope of tangent at (0, 0) = \(\left[\frac{d y}{d x}\right]_{(0,0)}\)
= cos 0° = 1
∴ R is true.
Equation of tangent at (0, 0) is
y – 0 = 1(x – 0)
y = x.
Hence A is true.
R is the correct explanation of A.

Question 7.
Assertion (A): The slope of normal to the curve x2 + 2y + y2 = 0 at (-1, 2) is -3.
Reason (R): The slope of tangent to the curve x2 + 2y + y2 = 0 at(- 12) is
Answer:
(A) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A

Explanation:
Given x2 + 2y + y2 = 0
2x + 2\(\frac{dy}{dx}\) + 2y\(\frac{dy}{dx}\) = 0
\(\frac{dy}{dx}\) (2 + 2y) = -2x
\(\frac{dy}{dx}\) = \(\frac{-2 x}{2(1+y)}\) = \(\frac{-2 x}{2(1+y)}\) = \(\frac{x}{1+y}\)
Slope of tangent at (-1, 2)
\(\left[\frac{d y}{d x}\right]_{(-1,2)}=\frac{-(-1)}{1+2}\) = \(\frac{1}{3}\)
Hence R is true.
Slope of normal at (-1, 2)
= \(\frac{-1}{\text { Slope of tangent }}\)
Slope of tangent
= -3.
Hence A is true.
R is the correct explanation for A.

Question 8.
The equation of tangent at (2, 3) on the curve y2 = ax3 + b is = 4x – 5.
Assertion (A): The value of a is ±2
Reason (R): The value of h is ±7
Answer:
(C) A is true but R is false

Explanation:
∴ y2 = ax3 + b
Differentiate with respect to x,
2y \(\frac{dy}{dx}\) = 3a x2
or \(\frac{dy}{dx}\) = \(\frac{3 a x^{2}}{2 y}\)
or \(\frac{dy}{dx}\) = \(\frac{3 a x^{2}}{\pm 2 \sqrt{a x^{3}+b}}\) [∴ y2 = ax3 + b]
or \(\left.\frac{d y}{d x}\right|_{(2,3)}=\frac{3 a(2)^{2}}{\pm 2 \sqrt{a(2)^{3}+b}}\)
= \(\frac{12 a}{\pm 2 \sqrt{8 a+b}}\)
= \(\frac{6 a}{\pm \sqrt{8 a+b}}\)
Since (2, 3) lies on the curve
y2 = ax3 + b
or 9 – 8a + b ………..(1)
Also from equation of tangent
y = 4x – 5
slope of the tangent = 4
\(\left.\frac{d y}{d x}\right|_{(2,3)}=\frac{6 a}{\pm \sqrt{8 a+b}}\) becomes
4 = \(\frac{6 a}{\pm \sqrt{9}}\) {from(i)}
4 = \(\frac{6 a}{\pm 3}\)
4 = \(\frac{6 a}{ 3}\) or 4 = \(\frac{6 a}{-3}\)
either, a = 2 or a = -2
For a = 2,
9 = 8(2) + b
or b = -7
a = 2 and b = -7
and for a = -2,
9 = 8(-2) + b
or b = 25
or a = -2 and b = 25
Hence A is true and R is false.

MCQ Questions for Class 12 Maths Chapter 6 Application of Derivatives

Question 9.
Assertion (A): The function f(x) = x3 – 3x2 + 6x -100 is strictly increasing on the set of real numbers.
Reason (R): A strictly increasing function is an injective function.
Answer:
(B) Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A

Explanation:
f(x) = x3 – 3x2 + 6x – 100
f'(x) = 3x2 – 6x + 6
= 3[x2 – 2x + 2]
= 3[(x – 1)2 + 1]
since f'(x) > 0; x ∈R
f(x) is strictly increasing on R.
Hence A is true.
For a strictly increasing function,
x1 > x2
f(x1) > f(x2)
i.e.; x1 = x2
= f(x1) = f(x2)
Hence, a strictly increasing function is always an injective function.
So R is true.
But R is not the correct explanation of A.

Question 10.
Consider the functionf(x) = sin4x + cos4x.
Assertion (A): f(x) is increasing in[0,\(\frac {π}{4}\) ]
Reason (R): f(x) is decreasing in [\(\frac {π}{2}\),\(\frac {π}{4}\)]
Answer:
(B) Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A

Explanation:
f(x) = sin4 x + cos4 x
or f'(x) = 4sin3x cos x – 4 cos3x sin x
= – 4sin x cos x – sin2 x + cos2 xJ
= -2 sin 2x cos 2x
= -sin 4x
On equating,
f'(x) = 0
or -sin 4x = 0
or 4x = 0,π,2π,………….
or x = 0,\(\frac{\pi}{4}, \frac{\pi}{2}\)
Sub-intervals are [0,\(\frac {π}{4}\)],\(\left[\frac{\pi}{4}, \frac{\pi}{2}\right]\)
or f'(x)< o in [o. \(\left[0, \frac{\pi}{4}\right]\) or f(x) is decreasing in [o, \(\left[0, \frac{\pi}{4}\right]\) and f’(x) > 0 in \(\frac{\pi}{4}, \frac{\pi}{2}\)
∴ f'(x) is increasing in [latex]\frac{\pi}{4}, \frac{\pi}{2}[/latex].
Both A and R are true. But R is not the correct explanation of A.

MCQ Questions for Class 12 Maths Chapter 6 Application of Derivatives

Question 11.
Assertion (A): The function y = [x(x – 2)2] is increasing in (0, 1) ∪ (2,∞ )
Reason (R): = \(\left[0, \frac{\pi}{4}\right]\) = 0, when x = 0, 1,2.
Answer:
(B) Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A

Explanation:
y = [x(x – 2)]2
= [x2 – 2x]2
∴ \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) = 2(x2 – 2x)(2x – 2)
∴ \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) = 4x(x – 1)(x – 2)
On equating \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) = 0
4x(x – 1)(x – 2) = 0
⇒x = 0,.x = 1,x = 2
∴ intervals are (-∞, 0), (0,1), (1,2), (2,∞)
Since, \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) > 0 in (0,1) or (2, ∞)
∴ f(x) is increasing in (0,1) u (2, ∞)
Both A and R are true. But R is not the correct explanation of A.

Question 12.
Assertion (A): The function y = log(1 + x) – 2 + x is a decreasing function of x throughout its domain.
Reason (R): The domain of the function
f(x) = log(1 + x) 2 + x (-1, c)
Answer:
(D) A is false and R is True

Explanation:
log (1 + x) is defined only when x + 1 > 0 or x > -1

Hence R is true.
y = log(1 + x) – \(\frac{2 x}{2+x}\)
Duff. w.tt. ‘x’,
\(\frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{1}{1+x}-\frac{[(2+x)(2)-2 x]}{(2+x)^{2}}\)
= \(\frac{1}{1+x}-\frac{[4-2 x-2 x]}{(2+x)^{2}}\)
= \(\frac{1}{1+x}-\frac{4}{(2+x)^{2}}\)
= \(\frac{(2+x)^{2}-4(1+x)}{(2+x)^{2}(1+x)}\)
= \(\frac{4+x^{2}+4 x-4-4 x}{(2+x)^{2}(1+x)}\)
= \(\frac{x^{2}}{(2+x)^{2}(1+x)}\)
For increasing function,
\(\frac{x^{2}}{(2+x)^{2}(1+x)}\) ≥ 0
or \(\frac{x^{2}}{(2+x)^{2}(x+1)}\) ≥ 0
or \(\frac{(2+x)^{2}(x+1) x^{2}}{(2+x)^{4}(x+1)^{2}}\) ≥ 0
or \((2+x)^{2}(x+1) x^{2}\) ≥ 0
When x > -1,
\({dy}{dx}\) is always greater than zero.
∴ y = log(l + x) – \(\frac{2 x}{2+x}\)
is always increasing throughout its domain.
Hence A is false.

Question 13.
The sum of surface areas (S) of a sphere of radius ‘r’ and a cuboid with sides \(\frac{x}{3}\), x and 2x is a constant.
Assertion (A): The sum of their volumes (V) is minimum when x equals three times the radius of the sphere.
Reason (R): Vis minimum when r = \(\sqrt{\frac{S}{54+4 \pi}}\)
Answer:
(A) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A

Explanation:
Given S = 4πr2 + 2\(\left[\frac{x^{2}}{3}+2 x^{2}+\frac{2 x^{2}}{3}\right]\)
S = 4πr2 + 6x2
or x2 = \(\frac{S-4 \pi r^{2}}{6}\)
and V = \(\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}+\frac{2 x^{3}}{3}\)
V = \(\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}+\frac{2}{3}\left(\frac{S-4 \pi r^{2}}{6}\right)^{3 / 2}\)
\(\frac{d V}{d r}=4 \pi r^{2}+\left(\frac{S-4 \pi r^{2}}{6}\right)^{1 / 2}\left(\frac{-8 \pi r}{6}\right)\)
\(\frac{dV}{dr}\) = 0
or r = \(\sqrt{\frac{S}{54+4 \pi}}\)
Now \(\frac{d^{2} V}{d r^{2}}=8 \pi r+\left(\frac{-8 \pi}{6}\right)\left(\frac{S-4 \pi r^{2}}{6}\right)^{1 / 2}\) + \(\frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{S-4 \pi r^{2}}{6}\right)^{-1 / 2}\left(\frac{-8 \pi r}{6}\right)\)
at r = \(\sqrt{\frac{S}{54+4 \pi}} ; \frac{d^{2} V}{d r^{2}}>0\)
∴ for r = \(\sqrt{\frac{S}{54+4 \pi}}\) volume is minimum
i.e., r2(54 + 4π) = S
or r2 (54 + 4π) =4πr2 + 6x2
or 6x2 = 54r2
or x2 = 9r2
or x = 3r
Hence both A and R are true.
R is the correct explanation of A.

AB is the diameter of a circle and C is any point on the circle.
Assertion (A): The area of ΔABC is maximum when it is isosceles.
Reason (R): ΔABC is a right-angled triangle.
Answer:
(A) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A

Explanation:
MCQ On Application Of Derivatives Class 12
Let the sides of rt. ∆ABC be x and y.
∴ x2 + y2 = 4r2
and A = Area of ∆ = \(\frac {1}{2}\) xy
Let, S = A2 = \(\frac {1}{2}\) x2y2
= \(\frac {1}{4}\) x2(4r2 – x2)
= \(\frac {1}{4}\)(4r2x2 – x4
∴ \(\frac {dS}{dx}\) = \(\frac {1}{4}\)\(\left[8 r^{2} x-4 x^{3}\right]\)
or \(\frac {dS}{dx}\) = 0
or x2 = 2r2 or x = \(\sqrt{2} r\)
and y2 = 4r2 – 2r2 = 2r2
or y = \(\sqrt{2} r\)
i.e., x = y and \(\frac{d^{2} S}{d x^{2}}\) = (2r2 – 3x2)
= 2r2 – 6r2<0
or Area is maximum, when à is isosceles.
Hence A is true.
Angle in a semicircle is a right angle.

Assertion (A): Height of the cylinder of maximum volume is \(\frac{2 R}{\sqrt{3}}\) units.
Reason (R): The maximum volume of the cylinder is \(\frac{2 R}{\sqrt{3}}\) cubic units.
Answer:
(C) A is true but R is false

Explanation:
Let the radius and height of cylinder be r and h respectively
∴V = πr2h ………..(1)
But r2 = R2 – \(\frac{h^{2}}{4}\)
∴ \(\pi h\left(R^{2}-\frac{h^{2}}{4}\right)=\pi\left(R^{2} h-\frac{h^{3}}{4}\right)\)
or \(\frac{d V}{d h}=\pi\left(R^{2}-\frac{3 h^{2}}{4}\right)\)
For maximum or minimum
∴ \(\frac{d V}{d h}=0 \text { or } h^{2}=\frac{4 R^{2}}{3}\)
or h = \(\frac{2 R}{\sqrt{3}}\)
Application Of Derivatives Class 12 MCQ Questions
and \(\frac{d^{2} V}{d h^{2}}=\pi\left(-\frac{6 h}{4}\right)<0\)
Maximum volume = \(\pi \cdot\left[R^{2} \cdot \frac{2 R}{\sqrt{3}}-\frac{1}{4}\left(\frac{2 R}{\sqrt{3}}\right)^{3}\right]\)
= \(\frac{4 \pi R^{3}}{3 \sqrt{3}}\) cubic units
Hence A is true and R is false.

Question 16.
Assertion (A): The altitude of the cone of maximum volume that can be inscribed in a sphere of radius r is \(\frac{4 r}{3}\)
Reason (R): The maximum volume of the cone is \(\frac{8}{7}\) of the volume of the sphere.
Answer:
(B) Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A

Explanation:
Let radius ‘of cone be x and its height be h.
∴ OD = (h – r)
Volume of cone
(V) = \(\frac{1}{3} \pi x^{2} h\) …………(1)
MCQ Of Application Of Derivatives Class 12 Chapter 6
In ∆OCD, x2 + (h – r)2 = r2 or x2 = r2 – (h – r)2
∴ V = \(\frac{1}{3}\)πh {r2 – (h – r)2}
= \(\frac{1}{3}\)π(- h3 + 2h2r)
or \(\frac{d V}{d h}=\frac{\pi}{3}\left(-3 h^{2}+4 h r\right)\)
∴ \(\frac{d V}{d h}=0 \text { or } h=\frac{4 r}{3}\)
\(\frac{d^{2} V}{d h^{2}}=\frac{\pi}{3}(-6 h+4 r)\)
= \(\frac{\pi}{3}\left(-6\left(\frac{4 r}{3}\right)+4 r\right)\)
= \(-\frac{4 \pi r}{3}<0\)
∴ at h = \(-\frac{4 \pi r}{3}<0\) Volume is maximum

Maximum volume
= \(\frac{1}{3} \pi \cdot\left\{-\left(\frac{4 r}{3}\right)^{3}+2\left(\frac{4 r}{3}\right)^{2} r\right\}\)
= \(\frac{8}{27} \cdot\left(\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}\right)\)
= \(\frac{8}{27}\) (volume of sphere)
Hence both A and R are true.
R is not the correct explanation of A.

Explanation:
Given, y = \(\frac {7}{2}\)
i.e., 4x – \(\frac {1}{2}\) x2 = \(\frac {7}{2}\)
8x – x2 = 7
x2 – 8x + 7 = 0
x2 – 7x – x + 7 = 0
x(x – 7) – (x – 7) = 0
x = 17
We will take x = 1, because it will take 4 days for the plant to grow to the maximum height i.e. 8 cm and cm is not maximum height so, it will take less than 4 days. i.e., 1 Day.

Explanation:
Profit = 38,250
i.e., -5x2 + 125x +37,500 = 38,250
5x2 – 125x + 750 = 0
x2 – 25x + 150 = 0
x(x – 15)-10 (x – 15) = 0
(x – 10) (x -15) = 0
x = 10,15
P(x) = -5x2 + 125x + 37500
P(10) = 5 x 102 + 125 x 10 + 37500

MCQ On Derivatives Class 12 Chapter 6

Question 1.
11 x and y represents the length and breadth of the rectangular region, then the relation between the variables is:
(A) x + πy = 100
(B) 2x + πy = 200
(C) πx + y = 50
(D) x + y = 100
Answer:
(B) 2x + πy = 200

Explanation:
Perimeter =
x + x + \(\frac{\pi y}{2}+\frac{\pi y}{2}\)
200 = 2x + \(\frac{2 \pi y}{2}\)
200 = 2x + πy

Question 2.

Question 5.
Volume is maximum at what height of that open box?
(A) 3 cm
(B) 9 cm
(C) 1 cm
(D) 4 cm
Answer:
(D) 4 cm

Explanation:
For maximum value,
\(\frac {dV}{dx}\) = 0
i.e.,12(x2 – 16x + 48) = 0
x2 – 16x + 48 = 0
x2 – 4x – 12x + 48 = 0
x(x – 4) -12(x – 4) = 0
(x – 4(x – 12) = 0
x = 4,12
V(x = 4) = (24 – 2 × 4)(24 – 2 × 4) × 4
= 16 × 16 × 4
= 1024 cm3
V(x = 12) = (24 – 2 × 12)(24 – 2 × 12) × 12 = 0
Hence, volume is maximum at height 4 cm of the open box.

(B) \(\frac{h_{1}-h}{h_{1}}\)
(C) \(\frac{h-h_{1}}{h}\)
(D) \(\frac{h+h_{1}}{h_{1}}\)
Answer:
(B) \(\frac{h_{1}-h}{h_{1}}\)

Explanation:
In ∆DEC and ∆OBC [Since DEC 1OBC]
\(\frac{D E}{O B}=\frac{E C}{B C}\)
\(\frac{h}{h_{1}}=\frac{r_{1}-r}{r_{1}}\)
r2h = r1h1 – rh1
r1(h – h1) = – rh1
or \(\frac{r}{r_{1}}=\frac{h_{1}-h}{h_{1}}\)

Question 2.
Find the value of ‘S’?

Answer:
(C) \(\frac{2 \pi r_{1}}{h_{1}}\left(h_{1}-h\right) h\)

Explanation:
Curved surface area of cylinder,
s = \(\frac{2 \pi r}{r_{1}}\left(r_{1}-r\right) h_{1}\)
= \(2 \pi r h_{1} \times \frac{h}{h_{1}}\) [∴ \(\frac{h}{h_{1}}=\frac{r_{1}-r}{r_{1}}\)]
= \(\frac{2 \pi r_{1}\left(h_{1}-h\right) \cdot h}{h_{1}}\) [∴ \(r=r_{1} \frac{\left(h_{1}-h\right)}{h_{1}}\)]
∴ S = \(\frac{2 \pi r_{1}}{h_{1}}\left(h_{1}-h\right) h\)

= \(\frac{-4 \pi r_{1}}{h_{1}}\)

Question 5.
What is the relation between r1 and r?
(A) r1 = \(\frac {r}{2}\)
(B) 2r1 = 3r
(C) r1 = 2r
(D) \(\frac{r_{1}}{2}=\frac{r}{3}\)
Answer:
(C) r1 = 2r

Explanation:
S = \(\frac{2 \pi r}{r_{1}}\left(r_{1}-r\right) h_{1}\)
S = \(\frac{2 \pi h_{1}\left(r r_{1}-r^{2}\right)}{r_{1}}\)
\(\frac {dS}{dr}\) = \(\frac{2 \pi h_{1}\left(r_{1}-2 r\right)}{r_{1}}\)
\(\frac {dS}{dr}\) = 0
\(\frac{2 \pi h_{1}\left(r_{1}-2 r\right)}{r_{1}}\) = 0
