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

(A) (1,2)<br />
(B) (\(\frac{1}{2}\),1)<br />
(C) (\(\frac{1}{2}\),\(\frac{1}{2}\))<br />
(D) (1,\(\frac{1}{2}\))<br />
Answer:<br />
(B) (\(\frac{1}{2}\),1)</p>
<p>Explanation:<br />
x<sup>2</sup> = 2y &#8230;&#8230;&#8230;.(1)<br />
⇒2x\(\frac{dx}{dt}\) = 2\(\frac{dy}{dt}\) (given \(\frac{dy}{dt}\) = \(\frac{dx}{dt}\))<br />
2x\(\frac{dx}{dt}\) = 2\(\frac{dx}{dt}\)<br />
⇒ x = 1<br />
From (1) y = \(\frac{1}{2}\)<br />
so point is (1,\(\frac{1}{2}\))</p>
<p><strong>Application Of Derivatives Class 12 MCQ Questions Question 5.</strong><br />
The curve y = \(x^{1 / 5}\) has at (0, 0)<br />
(A) a vertical tangent (parallel lo y.axis)<br />
(B) a horizontal tangent (parallel to x-axis)<br />
(C) an oblique tangent<br />
(D) no tangent<br />
Answer:<br />
(A) a vertical tangent (parallel lo y.axis)</p>
<p>Explanation:<br />
Given that, y = x\(x^{1 / 5}\)<br />
On differentiating with respect to x, we get<br />
\(\frac{dx}{dt}\) = \(\frac{1}{5}\)x\(x^{1 / 5}\) = \(\frac{1}{5}\)\(x^{-4 / 5}\)<br />
∴ \(\frac{dx}{dt}\)<sub>(0,0)</sub> = \(\frac{1}{5}\) x (0)\(x^{-4 / 5}\) = ∞<br />
So, the curve y = \(x^{1 / 5}\) has a vertical tangent at (0, 0), which is parallel to y-axis.</p>
<p><strong>MCQ Of Application Of Derivatives Class 12 Chapter 6 Question 6.</strong><br />
The equation of normal to the curve 3x<sup>2</sup> &#8211; y<sup>2</sup> = 8 which is parallel to the line x + 3y = 8 is<br />
(A) 3x &#8211; y = 8<br />
(A) 3x + y + 8 = 0<br />
(C) x + 3y ± 8 = 0<br />
(D) x + 3y = 0<br />
Answer:<br />
(C) x + 3y ± 8 = 0</p>
<p>Explanation :<br />
We have, the equation of the curve 1s 3 x 1 &#8211; y<sup>2</sup> = 8<br />
Also, the given equation of the line is x + 3y = 8.<br />
⇒ 3y = 8 &#8211; x<br />
⇒ y = &#8211; \(\frac{x}{3}\) + \(\frac{8}{3}\)<br />
Thus, slope of the line is &#8211; \(\frac{1}{3}\) which should be equal to slope of the equation of normal to the curve. On differentiating equation (1) with respect to x,<br />
we get<br />
6x &#8211; 2y = 0</p>
<p>⇒ \(\frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{6 x}{2 y}=\frac{3 x}{y}\) = Slope of the curve<br />
Now, slope of normal to the curve<br />
= \(-\frac{1}{\left(\frac{d y}{d x}\right)}\)<br />
= \(\frac{1}{\left(\frac{3 x}{y}\right)}\)<br />
= &#8211; \(\frac{y}{3x}\)<br />
∴ \(-\left(\frac{y}{3 x}\right)=-\frac{1}{3}\)<br />
= -3y = -3x<br />
= y = x<br />
On substituting the value of the given equation of the curve, we get<br />
3x<sup>2</sup> &#8211; x<sup>2</sup> = 8<br />
2x<sup>2</sup> = 8<br />
x<sup>2</sup> = 4<br />
⇒ x ± 2<br />
For x = 2<br />
3(2)<sup>2</sup> &#8211; y<sup>2</sup> = 8<br />
⇒ y<sup>2</sup> = 4<br />
⇒ y<sup>2</sup> = ± 2<br />
and for x = -2<br />
3 (2)<sup>2</sup> &#8211; y<sup>2</sup> = 8<br />
⇒ y<sup>2</sup> = 4<br />
y = ±2<br />
So, the points at which normal is parallel to the<br />
given line are (±2, ±2).<br />
Hence, the equation of normal at (±2, ±2) is<br />
= y &#8211; (±2) = \(\frac{1}{3}\)[x &#8211; (±2)]<br />
= 3[(y &#8211; (±2)] = -[(x-(±2)]<br />
∴ x + 3y ± 8 = 0</p>

<p><strong>Class 12 Maths Chapter 6 MCQ Question 7.</strong><br />
If the curve ay + x<sup>2</sup> =7 and x<sup>3</sup> = y. cut orthogonally at (1, 1), then the value of a is:<br />
(A) 1<br />
(B) 0<br />
(C) &#8211; 6<br />
(D) 6<br />
Answer:<br />
(D) 6</p>
<p>Explanation :<br />
Given that, ay + x<sup>2</sup> = 7 and x<sup>2</sup> = y on differentiating both equations with respect to x we get<br />
a \(\frac{dy}{dx}\) + 2x = 0 and 3x<sup>2</sup> = \(\frac{dy}{dx}\)<br />
⇒ \(\frac{dy}{dx}\) = &#8211;\(\frac{2x}{a}\) and \(\frac{dy}{dx}\) = 3x<sup>2</sup><br />
\(\frac{dy}{dx}\) = \(\frac{-2}{a}\) = m<sub>2</sub><br />
Since, the curve cuts orthogonally at (1, 1).<br />
∴ m<sub>1</sub> m<sub>2</sub> = -1<br />
⇒ \(\frac{-2}{a}\).3 = -1<br />
∴ a = 6</p>
<p><strong>Applications Of Derivatives Class 12 MCQ Chapter 6 Question 8.</strong><br />
The equation of tangent to the curve<br />
y(1 + x<sup>2</sup>) = 2 &#8211; x, where it crosses x-axis is:<br />
(A) x + 5y = 2<br />
(B) x &#8211; 5y = 2<br />
(C) 5x &#8211; y = 2<br />
(D) 5x + y = 2<br />
Answer:<br />
(A) x + 5y = 2</p>
<p>Explanation:<br />
Given that the equation of curve is<br />
y(1 + x<sup>3</sup>) = 2 &#8211; x &#8230;&#8230;&#8230;.(i)<br />
On differentiating with respect to x, we get<br />
∴ y.(0 + 2x) + (1 + x<sup>2</sup>) \(\frac{dy}{dx}\) = 0 &#8211; 1</p>
<p>⇒ 2xy + (1 + x<sup>2</sup>) = -1<br />
\(\frac{dy}{dx}\) = \(\frac{-1-2 x y}{1+x^{2}}\) &#8230;&#8230;&#8230;.(ii)<br />
Since, the given curve passes through x-axis,<br />
i.e., y = 0<br />
0(1 + x<sup>2</sup>) = 2 &#8211; x [By using EQuestion (i)]<br />
⇒ x = 2<br />
So the curve passes through the point (2,0).<br />
∴ \(\frac{dy}{dx}\)<sub>(2,0)</sub> = \(\frac{-1-2 \times 0}{1+2^{2}}\) = &#8211;\(\frac{1}{5}\) = Slope of the curve<br />
∴ Slope of tangent to the curve = &#8211;\(\frac{1}{5}\)<br />
∴ Equation of tangent to the curve passing through (2,0) is</p>
<p><strong>MCQ On Derivatives Class 12 Chapter 6 Question 9.</strong><br />
The points at which the tangents to the curve y = x<sup>3</sup> &#8211; 12x + 18 are parallel to x &#8211; axis are:<br />
(A) (2, -2), (-2, -34)<br />
(B) (0,34), (-2,0)<br />
(C) (2, 34), (-2,0)<br />
(D) (2, 2), (-2,34)<br />
Answer:<br />
(D) (2, 2), (-2,34)</p>
<p>Explanation :<br />
The equation of the curve is given by<br />
y = x<sup>3</sup> &#8211; 12x + 18<br />
On differentiating with respect to x, we get<br />
∴ \(\frac{dy}{dx}\) = 3x<sup>2</sup> &#8211; 12<br />
So, the slope of line parallel to the x-axis,<br />
\(\frac{dy}{dx}\) = 0<br />
⇒ 3x<sup>3</sup> &#8211; 12 = 0<br />
⇒ x<sup>2</sup> = \(\frac{12}{3}\)<br />
⇒ x<sup>2</sup> = 4<br />
∴ x = ±2<br />
For x = 2,<br />
y = 2<sup>3</sup> &#8211; 12x<sup>2</sup> + 18 = 2<br />
and for x = -2,<br />
y = (-2) -12x(-2) + 18 = 34<br />
So, the points are (2,2) and (-2, 34).</p>

<p><strong>MCQ On Application Of Derivatives Chapter 6 Question 10.</strong><br />
The tangent to the curve y = e<sup>2x</sup> at the point (0, 1) meets x-axis at:<br />
(A) (0,1)<br />
(B) (- \(\frac{1}{2}\),o)<br />
(C) (2,0)<br />
(D) (0,2)<br />
Answer:<br />
(B) (- \(\frac{1}{2}\),o)</p>
<p>Explanation :<br />
The equation of the curve is given by y = e<sup>2x</sup><br />
Since, it passes through the point (0,1).<br />
∴ \(\frac{dy}{dx}\) = e<sup>2x</sup>.2<br />
= 2 e<sup>2x</sup><br />
\(\frac{dy}{dx}\)<sub>(0,1)</sub> = 2e<sup>2.0</sup> = 2<br />
= Slope of tangent to the curve.<br />
∴ Equation of tangent is<br />
y &#8211; 1 = 2(x &#8211; 0)<br />
y = 2x + 1<br />
Since, tangent to the curve y = e<sup>2x</sup> at the point<br />
(0, 1) meets x-axis, i.e. y = 0.<br />
∴ 0 = 2x + 1<br />
x = &#8211; \(\frac{1}{2}\)<br />
so the required Point is (- \(\frac{1}{2}\), o).</p>
<p><strong>Class 12 Application Of Derivatives MCQ Chapter 6 Question 11.</strong><br />
The interval on which the function f(x) = 2x<sup>3</sup> + 9x<sup>2</sup> + 12x &#8211; 1 is decreasing is:<br />
(A) [-1, ∞]<br />
(B) [-2, -1]<br />
(C) (- ∞,-2]<br />
(D) (-1, 1]<br />
Answer:<br />
(B) [-2, -1]</p>
<p>Explanation:<br />
Given that,<br />
f(x) = 2x<sup>3</sup> + 9x<sup>2</sup> + 12x -1<br />
f(x) = 6x<sup>3</sup> + 18x + 12<br />
= 6(x<sup>2</sup> + 3x + 2)<br />
= 6(x + 2)(x + 1)<br />
So, f &#8216;(x) ≤ 0,for decreasing.<br />

We see that f’(x) is decreasing in[-2,-1].</p>
<p>Question 12.<br />
y = x(x &#8211; 3)<sup>2</sup> decreases for the values of x given by:<br />
(A) 1 &lt; x &lt; 3<br />
(B) x &lt; 0 (C) x &gt; 0<br />
(D) 0 &lt; x &lt; \(\frac {3}{2}\)<br />
Answer:<br />
(A) 1 &lt; x &lt; 3</p>
<p>Explanation:<br />
Given that,<br />
y = x(x &#8211; 3)<sup>2</sup><br />
∴ \(\frac{dy}{dx}\) = x.2 (x &#8211; 3).1 + (x &#8211; 3)<sup>2</sup>.1<br />
= 2x<sup>2</sup> &#8211; 6x + x<sup>2</sup> + 9 &#8211; 6x<br />
= 3x<sup>2</sup> &#8211; 12x + 9<br />
= 3(x<sup>2</sup> &#8211; 3x &#8211; x + 3)<br />
= 3(x &#8211; 3)(x &#8211; 1)<br />
So, y = x(x &#8211; 3)<sup>2</sup> decreases for(1,3).<br />
[Since, y’ &lt; 0 for all x ∈ (1, 3), hence y is decreasing on (1,3)].</p>
<p><strong>MCQ Questions On Application Of Derivatives Chapter 6 Question 13.</strong><br />
The function f(x) = 4 sin<sup>3</sup>x &#8211; 6 sin<sup>2</sup>x + 12 sin x + 100 is strictly<br />
(A) increasing in (π, \(\frac{3π}{2}\))<br />
(B) decreasing in (\(\frac{3π}{2}\), π)<br />
(C) decreasing in (\(\frac{-π}{2}\),\(\frac{π}{2}\))<br />
(D) decreasing in (0, \(\frac{π}{2}\))<br />
Answer:<br />
(B) decreasing in (\(\frac{3π}{2}\), π)</p>
<p>Explanation:<br />
Given that,<br />
f(x) = 4 sin<sup>3</sup> x &#8211; 6 sin<sup>2</sup>x + 12 sin x + 100<br />
On differentiating with respect to x, we get<br />
f'(x) = 12 sin<sup>2</sup> x. cos x &#8211; 12 sin x. cos x + 12 cos x<br />
= 12[sin<sup>2</sup>x.cos x &#8211; sin x.cos x + cos x ]<br />
= 12 cos x[sin<sup>2</sup> x &#8211; sin x + 1]<br />
⇒ f'(x) = 12 cos x[sin<sup>2</sup> x + 1(1 &#8211; sin x)]<br />
⇒ 1 &#8211; sin x ≥ 0 and sin<sup>2</sup> x ≥ 0<br />
⇒ sin<sup>2</sup> x + 1 &#8211; sin x ≥ 0</p>
<p>Hence, f'(x) &gt; 0, when cos x &gt;0, i.e, x ∈\(\left(\frac{-\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2}\right)\)<br />
So.f(x) is increasing when x ∈ \(\left(\frac{-\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2}\right)\)<br />
and f (x) &lt; 0, when cos x &lt; 0, i.e., x ∈\(\left(\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{3 \pi}{2}\right)\)<br />
Hence, f&#8217; (x) is decreasing when x ∈\(\left(\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{3 \pi}{2}\right)\)<br />
Since \(\left(\frac{\pi}{2}, \pi\right)\)∈\(\left(\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{3 \pi}{2}\right)\)<br />
Hence,f(x) is decreasing in\(\left(\frac{\pi}{2}, \pi\right)\)</p>

Answer:<br />
(D) is an increasing function</p>
<p>Explanation:<br />
Given that,<br />
f(x) = 2x + cos x<br />
Differentiating with respect to x, we get<br />
f'(x) = 2 + (-sin x)<br />

(C) 1<br />
(D) 2<br />
Answer:<br />
(C) 1</p>
<p>Explanation:<br />
Let,<br />
f(x) = x<sup>2</sup> &#8211; 8x + 17<br />
On differentiating with respect to x, we get<br />
f’(x) = 2x &#8211; 8<br />
So, f'(x) = 0<br />
2x &#8211; 8 = 0<br />
So, f’(x) = 0<br />
2x &#8211; 8 = 0<br />
2x = 8<br />
∴ x = 4<br />
Now, Again on differentiating with respect to x,<br />
we get<br />
f'(x) = 2 &gt; 0,∀x<br />
So,x = 4 is the point of local minimum.<br />
Minimum value of f(x) at x = 4<br />
f(4) = 44 &#8211; 84 + 17 = 1</p>
<p><strong>Ch 6 Maths Class 12 MCQ Question 18.</strong><br />
The smallest value of the polynomial x<sup>3</sup> &#8211; 18 x<sup>2</sup> + 96x in [0, 9] is<br />
(A) 126<br />
(B) 0<br />
(C) 135<br />
(D) 160<br />
Answer:<br />
(B) 0</p>
<p>Explanation:<br />
Given that, the smallest value of<br />
polynomial is f(x) = x<sup>3</sup> &#8211; 8x<sup>2</sup> + 96x<br />
On differentiating with respect to x we get<br />
f'(x) = 3x<sup>2</sup> &#8211; 36 x + 96<br />
So,<br />
f’(x) = 0<br />
3x<sup>2</sup> &#8211; 36x + 96 = 0<br />
= 3(x<sup>2</sup> &#8211; 12x + 32) = 0<br />
(x &#8211; 8)(x &#8211; 4) = 0<br />
x = 8,4 ∈[0,9]<br />
We shall now calculate the value of f(x) at these points and at the end points of the interval [0, 9]<br />
Le., at x = 4 and x = 8 and at x = 0 and at x = 9.<br />
f(4) = 4<sup>3</sup> &#8211; 18 × 4<sup>2</sup> + 96 × 4<br />
= 64 &#8211; 288 + 384 = 160<br />
f(8) = 8<sup>3</sup> &#8211; 18 × 8<sup>2</sup> + 96 × 8 = 128<br />
f(9) = 9<sup>3</sup> -18 × 9<sup>2</sup> + 96 × 9<br />
=729 &#8211; 1458 + 864 = 135<br />
and f(0) = 0<sup>3</sup> &#8211; 18 x 0<sup>2</sup> +96 x 0 = 0<br />
Thus, we conclude that absolute minimum value of fix) in 10,91 is 0 occurring at x 0.</p>

<p><strong>MCQ Of Derivatives Class 12 Chapter 6 Question 19.</strong><br />
The function f(x) = 2x<sup>3</sup> &#8211; 3x<sup>2</sup> &#8211; 12x + 4, has<br />
(A) two points of local maximum<br />
(B) two points of local maxiuma<br />
(C) one maxium and one minimum<br />
(D) no maxima or minima<br />
Answer:<br />
(C) one maxium and one minimum</p>
<p>Explanation:<br />
We have,<br />
f(x) = 2x<sup>3</sup> &#8211; 3x<sup>2</sup> &#8211; 12x + 4<br />
f'(x) = 6x<sup>2</sup> &#8211; 6x &#8211; 12<br />
Now, f'(x) = 0<br />
⇒ 6(x<sup>2</sup> &#8211; x &#8211; 2) = 0<br />
6(x + 1)(x &#8211; 2) = 0<br />
x = -1 and x = +2<br />
On number line for f(x), we get<br />

Hence, x= -1 is point of local maxima and x = 2 is point of local minima.<br />
So,f(x) has one maxima and one minima.</p>
<p><strong>MCQ Of Chapter 6 Maths Class 12 Question 20.</strong><br />
The maximum value of sin x. cos x is<br />
(A) \(\frac {1}{4}\)<br />
(B) \(\frac {1}{2}\)<br />
(C) \(\sqrt{2}\)<br />
(D) \(2 \sqrt{2}\)<br />
Answer:<br />
(B) \(\frac {1}{2}\)</p>
<p>Explanation:<br />
Let us assume that,<br />
f(x)= sin x.cos x<br />
Now, we know that<br />
sin x. cos x = \(\frac {1}{2}\) sin2x<br />
∴ f'(x) = \(\frac {1}{2}\) cos 2x. 2 = cos2x<br />
Now, f'(x) = 0<br />
⇒ cos 2x = 0<br />
⇒ cos 2x = cos \(\frac {π}{2}\)<br />
x = \(\frac {π}{4}\)<br />
Also f&#8221;(x) = \(\frac {d}{dx}\).cos 2x = -2 sin 2x<br />
∴ \(\left[f^{\prime \prime}(x)\right]_{\text {at } x=\frac{\pi}{4}}\) = -2 sin 2. \(\frac {π}{4}\)<br />
= &#8211; 2 sin \(\frac {π}{2}\)<br />
= &#8211; 2&lt;0<br />
∴ x \(\frac {π}{4}\) is point of maxiuma.<br />
f(\(\frac {π}{4}\)) = \(\frac {1}{2}\).sin.2\(\frac {π}{4}\)<br />
= \(\frac {1}{2}\)</p>

<p>Question 21.<br />
Maximum slope of the cwve y = -x<sup>3</sup> + 3x<sup>2</sup> + 9x -27 is:<br />
(A) 0<br />
(B) 12<br />
(C) 16<br />
(D) 32<br />
Answer:<br />
(B) 12</p>
<p>Explanation:<br />
Given that,<br />
y = -x<sup>3</sup> + 3x<sup>2</sup> + 9x &#8211; 27<br />
∴\(\frac {dy}{dx}\) = -3x<sup>2</sup> + 6x + 9<br />
= Slope of the curve<br />
and \(\frac{d^{2} y}{d x^{2}}\) = -6x + 6 = -6(x &#8211; 1)<br />
∴\(\frac{d^{2} y}{d x^{2}}\) = -6x + 6 = -6(x &#8211; 1)<br />
∴\(\frac{d^{2} y}{d x^{2}}\) = 0<br />
⇒ -6(x &#8211; 1) = 0<br />
x = 1 &gt; 0<br />
Now, \(\frac{d^{2} y}{d x^{2}}\) = -6 &lt; 0<br />
So, the maximum slope of given curve is at x = 1.<br />
∴\(\left(\frac{d y}{d x}\right)_{(x=1)}\) = -3 x 1<sup>2</sup> +6 x 1 + 9 = 12</p>
<p>Question 22.<br />
The maximum value of \(\left(\frac{1}{x}\right)^{x}\) is:<br />
(A) e<br />
(B) e <sup>x</sup><br />
(C) \(e^{1 / e}\)<br />
(D) \(\left(\frac{1}{e}\right)^{1 / e}\)<br />
Answer:<br />
(C) \(e^{1 / e}\)</p>
<p>Explanation:<br />
Let y = \(\left(\frac{1}{x}\right)^{x}\)<br />
log y = x. log \(\frac{1}{x}\)<br />
∴ \(\frac{1}{y} \cdot \frac{d y}{d x}\) = \(x \cdot \frac{1}{\frac{1}{x}} \cdot\left(-\frac{1}{x^{2}}\right)+\log \frac{1}{x}, 1\)<br />
= -1 + log \(\frac{1}{x}\)<br />
∴ \(\frac{d y}{d x}=\left(\log \frac{1}{x}-1\right) \cdot\left(\frac{1}{x}\right)^{x}\)<br />
Now, \(\frac{dy}{dx}\) = 0<br />
⇒ log \(\frac{1}{x}\) = 1 = loge<br />
⇒ \(\frac{1}{x}\) = e<br />
⇒ x = \(\frac{1}{e}\)<br />
Hence, the maximum value of f = \(\frac{1}{e}\) = \((e)^{1 / e}\)</p>

<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Assertion And Reason Based Mcqs (1 Mark Each)</span></p>
<p>Directions: In the following questions, A statement of Assertion (A) is followed by a statement of Reason (R) Mark the correct choice as.<br />
(A) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A<br />
(B) Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A<br />
(C) A is true but R is false<br />
(D) A is false and R is True</p>
<p>Question 1.<br />
The total revenue received from the sale of x units of a product is given by R(x) = 3x<sup>2</sup> + 36x + 5 in rupees.<br />
Assertion (A): The marginal revenue when x = 5 is 66.<br />
Reason (R): Marginal revenue is the rate of change of total revenue with respect to the number of items sold at an instance.<br />
Answer:<br />
(A) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A</p>
<p>Marginal revenue is the rate of change of total revenue with respect to the number of items sold at an instance. Therefore R is true.<br />
R'(x) = 6x +36<br />
R'(5) = 66<br />
∴ A is true.<br />
R is the correct explanation of A.</p>
<p>Question 2.<br />
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.<br />
Assertion (A): When r = 8cm and h = 6 cm, the rate of change of volume of the cylinder is 224 π cm<sup>3</sup>/min<br />
Reason (R): The volume of a cylinder is V =\(\frac {1}{3}\) πr<sup>2</sup>h<br />
Answer:<br />
(C) A is true but R is false</p>
<p>Explanation:<br />
The volume of a cylinder is V = πr<sup>2</sup>h<br />
So R is false.<br />
\(\frac {dr}{dt}\) = 5cm/min, \(\frac {dh}{dt}\) = -4 cm/min<br />
V = πr<sup>2</sup>h<br />
\(\frac {dV}{dt}\) = π\(\left(r^{2} \frac{d h}{d t}+2 h r \frac{d r}{d t}\right)\)<br />
\(\frac {dV}{dt}\) = π[64 × (-4) + 2 × 6 × 8 × 5]<br />
\(\left.\frac{d V}{d t}\right)_{r=8, h=6}\) = 224 π cm<sup>3</sup> /mm<br />
∴ Volume is increasing at the rate of 224 π cm<sup>3</sup> /mm<br />
∴ A is true.</p>
<p>Question 3.<br />
Assertion (A): For the curve y = 5x &#8211; 2x<sup>3</sup> if x increases at the rate of 2 units/sec, then at x = 3 the slope of curve is decreasing at 36 units/sec.<br />
Reason (R): The slope of the curve is<br />
Answer:<br />
(D) A is false and R is True</p>
<p>Explanation:<br />
The slope of the curve y = f(x) is \(\frac {dy}{dt}\)<br />
R is true.<br />
Given curve is y = 5x &#8211; 2x<sup>3</sup><br />
or \(\frac {dy}{dt}\) = 5 &#8211; 6x<sup>2</sup><br />
or m = 5 &#8211; 6x<sup>2</sup> [slope m = \(\frac {dy}{dx}\)]<br />
\(\frac {dm}{dt}\) = -12x \(\frac {dx}{dt}\) = -24x [∴ \(\frac {dx}{dt}\) = 2 unit/sec]<br />
\(\left.\frac{d m}{d t}\right|_{x=3}=-72\)</p>
<p>Rate of Change of the slope is decreasing by 72 units/s<br />
A is false.</p>
<p>Question 4.<br />
A particle moves along the curve 6y = x<sup>2</sup> + 2.<br />
Assertion (A): The curve meets the Y axis at three points.<br />
Reason (R): At the points (2 ) and (-2, -1) the ordinate changes two times as fast as the abscissa.<br />
Answer:<br />
(D) A is false and R is True</p>
<p>Explanation:<br />
On Y axis, x = 0. The curve meets the Y axis at<br />
only one point, i.e., (o,\(\frac{1}{3},\) ).<br />
Hence A is false.<br />
6y = x<sup>3</sup> + 2<br />
or 6\(\frac{d y}{d t}\) = 3x<sup>2</sup>\(\frac{dx}{d t}\)<br />
Given, \(\frac{d y}{d t}\) = 2 \(\frac{dx}{d t}\)<br />
or 12 = 3x<sup>2</sup><br />
or x = ±2<br />
Put x = 2 and -2 in the given equation to get y<br />
∴ The points are (2,\(\frac{5}{3},\))(-2 -1)<br />
R is true.</p>
<p>Question 5.<br />
Assertion (A): At x =\(\frac{π}{6}\), the curve y = 2cos<sup>2</sup> (3x) has a vertical tangent.<br />
Reason (R): The slope of tangent to the curve<br />
y = 2cos<sup>2</sup> (3x) at x = \(\frac{π}{6}\) is zero.<br />
Answer:<br />
(D) A is false and R is True</p>
<p>Explanation:<br />
Given y = 2cos<sup>2</sup>(3x)<br />
\(\frac{π}{6}\) = 2 × 2 × cos(3x) × (- sin 3x) x 3<br />
\(\frac{dy}{dx}\) = -6 sin 6x<br />
\(\left.\frac{d y}{d x}\right]_{x=\frac{\pi}{6}}\) = -6 sin π<br />
= -6 × 0<br />
= 0<br />
∴ R is true.<br />
Since the slope of tangent is zero, the tangent is parallel to the X &#8211; axis. That is the curve has a horizontal tangent at x = \(\frac{π}{6}\) Hence A is false.</p>
<p>Question 6.<br />
Assertion (A): The equation of tangent to the curve y = sin x at the point (0, 0) is y = x.<br />
Reason(R): If y = sin x, then at x = 0 is 1.<br />
Answer:<br />
Option (A) is correct.</p>
<p>Explanation:<br />
Given y = sin x<br />
\(\frac{dy}{dx}\) = cos x<br />
Slope of tangent at (0, 0) = \(\left[\frac{d y}{d x}\right]_{(0,0)}\)<br />
= cos 0° = 1<br />
∴ R is true.<br />
Equation of tangent at (0, 0) is<br />
y &#8211; 0 = 1(x &#8211; 0)<br />
y = x.<br />
Hence A is true.<br />
R is the correct explanation of A.</p>

<p>Question 7.<br />
Assertion (A): The slope of normal to the curve x<sup>2</sup> + 2y + y<sup>2</sup> = 0 at (-1, 2) is -3.<br />
Reason (R): The slope of tangent to the curve x<sup>2</sup> + 2y + y<sup>2</sup> = 0 at(- 12) is<br />
Answer:<br />
(A) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A</p>
<p>Explanation:<br />
Given x<sup>2</sup> + 2y + y<sup>2</sup> = 0<br />
2x + 2\(\frac{dy}{dx}\) + 2y\(\frac{dy}{dx}\) = 0<br />
\(\frac{dy}{dx}\) (2 + 2y) = -2x<br />
\(\frac{dy}{dx}\) = \(\frac{-2 x}{2(1+y)}\) = \(\frac{-2 x}{2(1+y)}\) = \(\frac{x}{1+y}\)<br />
Slope of tangent at (-1, 2)<br />
\(\left[\frac{d y}{d x}\right]_{(-1,2)}=\frac{-(-1)}{1+2}\) = \(\frac{1}{3}\)<br />
Hence R is true.<br />
Slope of normal at (-1, 2)<br />
= \(\frac{-1}{\text { Slope of tangent }}\)<br />
Slope of tangent<br />
= -3.<br />
Hence A is true.<br />
R is the correct explanation for A.</p>
<p>Question 8.<br />
The equation of tangent at (2, 3) on the curve y<sup>2</sup> = ax<sup>3</sup> + b is = 4x &#8211; 5.<br />
Assertion (A): The value of a is ±2<br />
Reason (R): The value of h is ±7<br />
Answer:<br />
(C) A is true but R is false</p>
<p>Explanation:<br />
∴ y<sup>2</sup> = ax<sup>3</sup> + b<br />
Differentiate with respect to x,<br />
2y \(\frac{dy}{dx}\) = 3a x<sup>2</sup><br />
or \(\frac{dy}{dx}\) = \(\frac{3 a x^{2}}{2 y}\)<br />
or \(\frac{dy}{dx}\) = \(\frac{3 a x^{2}}{\pm 2 \sqrt{a x^{3}+b}}\) [∴ y<sup>2</sup> = ax<sup>3</sup> + b]<br />
or \(\left.\frac{d y}{d x}\right|_{(2,3)}=\frac{3 a(2)^{2}}{\pm 2 \sqrt{a(2)^{3}+b}}\)<br />
= \(\frac{12 a}{\pm 2 \sqrt{8 a+b}}\)<br />
= \(\frac{6 a}{\pm \sqrt{8 a+b}}\)<br />
Since (2, 3) lies on the curve<br />
y<sup>2</sup> = ax<sup>3</sup> + b<br />
or 9 &#8211; 8a + b &#8230;&#8230;&#8230;..(1)<br />
Also from equation of tangent<br />
y = 4x &#8211; 5<br />
slope of the tangent = 4<br />
\(\left.\frac{d y}{d x}\right|_{(2,3)}=\frac{6 a}{\pm \sqrt{8 a+b}}\) becomes<br />
4 = \(\frac{6 a}{\pm \sqrt{9}}\) {from(i)}<br />
4 = \(\frac{6 a}{\pm 3}\)<br />
4 = \(\frac{6 a}{ 3}\) or 4 = \(\frac{6 a}{-3}\)<br />
either, a = 2 or a = -2<br />
For a = 2,<br />
9 = 8(2) + b<br />
or b = -7<br />
a = 2 and b = -7<br />
and for a = -2,<br />
9 = 8(-2) + b<br />
or b = 25<br />
or a = -2 and b = 25<br />
Hence A is true and R is false.</p>

<p>Question 9.<br />
Assertion (A): The function f(x) = x<sup>3</sup> &#8211; 3x<sup>2</sup> + 6x -100 is strictly increasing on the set of real numbers.<br />
Reason (R): A strictly increasing function is an injective function.<br />
Answer:<br />
(B) Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A</p>
<p>Explanation:<br />
f(x) = x<sup>3</sup> &#8211; 3x<sup>2</sup> + 6x &#8211; 100<br />
f'(x) = 3x<sup>2</sup> &#8211; 6x + 6<br />
= 3[x<sup>2</sup> &#8211; 2x + 2]<br />
= 3[(x &#8211; 1)<sup>2</sup> + 1]<br />
since f'(x) &gt; 0; x ∈R<br />
f(x) is strictly increasing on R.<br />
Hence A is true.<br />
For a strictly increasing function,<br />
x<sub>1</sub> &gt; x<sub>2</sub><br />
f(x<sub>1</sub>) &gt; f(x<sub>2</sub>)<br />
i.e.; x<sub>1</sub> = x<sub>2</sub><br />
= f(x<sub>1</sub>) = f(x<sub>2</sub>)<br />
Hence, a strictly increasing function is always an injective function.<br />
So R is true.<br />
But R is not the correct explanation of A.</p>
<p>Question 10.<br />
Consider the functionf(x) = sin4x + cos4x.<br />
Assertion (A): f(x) is increasing in[0,\(\frac {π}{4}\) ]<br />
Reason (R): f(x) is decreasing in [\(\frac {π}{2}\),\(\frac {π}{4}\)]<br />
Answer:<br />
(B) Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A</p>
<p>Explanation:<br />
f(x) = sin<sup>4</sup> x + cos<sup>4</sup> x<br />
or f'(x) = 4sin<sup>3</sup>x cos x &#8211; 4 cos<sup>3</sup>x sin x<br />
= &#8211; 4sin x cos x &#8211; sin<sup>2</sup> x + cos<sup>2</sup> xJ<br />
= -2 sin 2x cos 2x<br />
= -sin 4x<br />
On equating,<br />
f'(x) = 0<br />
or -sin 4x = 0<br />
or 4x = 0,π,2π,&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;.<br />
or x = 0,\(\frac{\pi}{4}, \frac{\pi}{2}\)<br />
Sub-intervals are [0,\(\frac {π}{4}\)],\(\left[\frac{\pi}{4}, \frac{\pi}{2}\right]\)<br />
or f'(x)&lt; 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) &gt; 0 in \(\frac{\pi}{4}, \frac{\pi}{2}\)<br />
∴ f'(x) is increasing in [latex]\frac{\pi}{4}, \frac{\pi}{2}[/latex].<br />
Both A and R are true. But R is not the correct explanation of A.</p>

<p>Question 11.<br />
Assertion (A): The function y = [x(x &#8211; 2)<sup>2</sup>] is increasing in (0, 1) ∪ (2,∞ )<br />
Reason (R): = \(\left[0, \frac{\pi}{4}\right]\) = 0, when x = 0, 1,2.<br />
Answer:<br />
(B) Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A</p>
<p>Explanation:<br />
y = [x(x &#8211; 2)]<sup>2</sup><br />
= [x<sup>2</sup> &#8211; 2x]<sup>2</sup><br />
∴ \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) = 2(x<sup>2</sup> &#8211; 2x)(2x &#8211; 2)<br />
∴ \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) = 4x(x &#8211; 1)(x &#8211; 2)<br />
On equating \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) = 0<br />
4x(x &#8211; 1)(x &#8211; 2) = 0<br />
⇒x = 0,.x = 1,x = 2<br />
∴ intervals are (-∞, 0), (0,1), (1,2), (2,∞)<br />
Since, \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) &gt; 0 in (0,1) or (2, ∞)<br />
∴ f(x) is increasing in (0,1) u (2, ∞)<br />
Both A and R are true. But R is not the correct explanation of A.</p>
<p>Question 12.<br />
Assertion (A): The function y = log(1 + x) &#8211; 2 + x is a decreasing function of x throughout its domain.<br />
Reason (R): The domain of the function<br />
f(x) = log(1 + x) 2 + x (-1, c)<br />
Answer:<br />
(D) A is false and R is True</p>
<p>Explanation:<br />
log (1 + x) is defined only when x + 1 &gt; 0 or x &gt; -1</p>
<p>Hence R is true.<br />
y = log(1 + x) &#8211; \(\frac{2 x}{2+x}\)<br />
Duff. w.tt. ‘x’,<br />
\(\frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{1}{1+x}-\frac{[(2+x)(2)-2 x]}{(2+x)^{2}}\)<br />
= \(\frac{1}{1+x}-\frac{[4-2 x-2 x]}{(2+x)^{2}}\)<br />
= \(\frac{1}{1+x}-\frac{4}{(2+x)^{2}}\)<br />
= \(\frac{(2+x)^{2}-4(1+x)}{(2+x)^{2}(1+x)}\)<br />
= \(\frac{4+x^{2}+4 x-4-4 x}{(2+x)^{2}(1+x)}\)<br />
= \(\frac{x^{2}}{(2+x)^{2}(1+x)}\)<br />
For increasing function,<br />
\(\frac{x^{2}}{(2+x)^{2}(1+x)}\) ≥ 0<br />
or \(\frac{x^{2}}{(2+x)^{2}(x+1)}\) ≥ 0<br />
or \(\frac{(2+x)^{2}(x+1) x^{2}}{(2+x)^{4}(x+1)^{2}}\) ≥ 0<br />
or \((2+x)^{2}(x+1) x^{2}\) ≥ 0<br />
When x &gt; -1,<br />
\({dy}{dx}\) is always greater than zero.<br />
∴ y = log(l + x) &#8211; \(\frac{2 x}{2+x}\)<br />
is always increasing throughout its domain.<br />
Hence A is false.</p>
<p>Question 13.<br />
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.<br />
Assertion (A): The sum of their volumes (V) is minimum when x equals three times the radius of the sphere.<br />
Reason (R): Vis minimum when r = \(\sqrt{\frac{S}{54+4 \pi}}\)<br />
Answer:<br />
(A) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A</p>
<p>Explanation:<br />
Given S = 4πr<sup>2</sup> + 2\(\left[\frac{x^{2}}{3}+2 x^{2}+\frac{2 x^{2}}{3}\right]\)<br />
S = 4πr<sup>2</sup> + 6x<sup>2</sup><br />
or x<sup>2</sup> = \(\frac{S-4 \pi r^{2}}{6}\)<br />
and V = \(\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}+\frac{2 x^{3}}{3}\)<br />
V = \(\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}+\frac{2}{3}\left(\frac{S-4 \pi r^{2}}{6}\right)^{3 / 2}\)<br />
\(\frac{d V}{d r}=4 \pi r^{2}+\left(\frac{S-4 \pi r^{2}}{6}\right)^{1 / 2}\left(\frac{-8 \pi r}{6}\right)\)<br />
\(\frac{dV}{dr}\) = 0<br />
or r = \(\sqrt{\frac{S}{54+4 \pi}}\)<br />
Now \(\frac{d^{2} V}{d r^{2}}=8 \pi r+\left(\frac{-8 \pi}{6}\right)\left(\frac{S-4 \pi r^{2}}{6}\right)^{1 / 2}\) + \(\frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{S-4 \pi r^{2}}{6}\right)^{-1 / 2}\left(\frac{-8 \pi r}{6}\right)\)<br />
at r = \(\sqrt{\frac{S}{54+4 \pi}} ; \frac{d^{2} V}{d r^{2}}&gt;0\)<br />
∴ for r = \(\sqrt{\frac{S}{54+4 \pi}}\) volume is minimum<br />
i.e., r<sup>2</sup>(54 + 4π) = S<br />
or r<sup>2</sup> (54 + 4π) =4πr<sup>2</sup> + 6x<sup>2</sup><br />
or 6x<sup>2</sup> = 54r<sup>2</sup><br />
or x<sup>2</sup> = 9r<sup>2</sup><br />
or x = 3r<br />
Hence both A and R are true.<br />
R is the correct explanation of A.</p>

<p>Question 14.<br />
AB is the diameter of a circle and C is any point on the circle.<br />
Assertion (A): The area of ΔABC is maximum when it is isosceles.<br />
Reason (R): ΔABC is a right-angled triangle.<br />
Answer:<br />
(A) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A</p>
<p>Explanation:<br />
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-135477 size-full" src="https://mcqquestions.guru/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/MCQ-Questions-for-Class-12-Maths-Chapter-6-Application-of-Derivatives-4.png" alt="MCQ On Application Of Derivatives Class 12 " width="212" height="191" /><br />
Let the sides of rt. ∆ABC be x and y.<br />
∴ x<sup>2</sup> + y<sup>2</sup> = 4r<sup>2</sup><br />
and A = Area of ∆ = \(\frac {1}{2}\) xy<br />
Let, S = A<sup>2</sup> = \(\frac {1}{2}\) x<sup>2</sup>y<sup>2</sup><br />
= \(\frac {1}{4}\) x<sup>2</sup>(4r<sup>2</sup> &#8211; x<sup>2</sup>)<br />
= \(\frac {1}{4}\)(4r<sup>2</sup>x<sup>2</sup> &#8211; x<sup>4</sup><br />
∴ \(\frac {dS}{dx}\) = \(\frac {1}{4}\)\(\left[8 r^{2} x-4 x^{3}\right]\)<br />
or \(\frac {dS}{dx}\) = 0<br />
or x<sup>2</sup> = 2r<sup>2</sup> or x = \(\sqrt{2} r\)<br />
and y<sup>2</sup> = 4r<sup>2</sup> &#8211; 2r<sup>2</sup> = 2r<sup>2</sup><br />
or y = \(\sqrt{2} r\)<br />
i.e., x = y and \(\frac{d^{2} S}{d x^{2}}\) = (2r<sup>2</sup> &#8211; 3x<sup>2</sup>)<br />
= 2r<sup>2</sup> &#8211; 6r<sup>2</sup>&lt;0<br />
or Area is maximum, when à is isosceles.<br />
Hence A is true.<br />
Angle in a semicircle is a right angle.<br />
∴ ∠C = 90°<br />
∆ABC is a right-angled triangle.<br />
∴ R is true.<br />
R is the correct explanation of A.</p>
<p>Question 15.<br />
A cylinder is inscribed in a sphere of radius R.<br />
Assertion (A): Height of the cylinder of maximum volume is \(\frac{2 R}{\sqrt{3}}\) units.<br />
Reason (R): The maximum volume of the cylinder is \(\frac{2 R}{\sqrt{3}}\) cubic units.<br />
Answer:<br />
(C) A is true but R is false</p>
<p>Explanation:<br />
Let the radius and height of cylinder be r and h respectively<br />
∴V = πr<sup>2</sup>h &#8230;&#8230;&#8230;..(1)<br />
But r<sup>2</sup> = R<sup>2</sup> &#8211; \(\frac{h^{2}}{4}\)<br />
∴ \(\pi h\left(R^{2}-\frac{h^{2}}{4}\right)=\pi\left(R^{2} h-\frac{h^{3}}{4}\right)\)<br />
or \(\frac{d V}{d h}=\pi\left(R^{2}-\frac{3 h^{2}}{4}\right)\)<br />
For maximum or minimum<br />
∴ \(\frac{d V}{d h}=0 \text { or } h^{2}=\frac{4 R^{2}}{3}\)<br />
or h = \(\frac{2 R}{\sqrt{3}}\)<br />

and \(\frac{d^{2} V}{d h^{2}}=\pi\left(-\frac{6 h}{4}\right)&lt;0\)<br />
Maximum volume = \(\pi \cdot\left[R^{2} \cdot \frac{2 R}{\sqrt{3}}-\frac{1}{4}\left(\frac{2 R}{\sqrt{3}}\right)^{3}\right]\)<br />
= \(\frac{4 \pi R^{3}}{3 \sqrt{3}}\) cubic units<br />
Hence A is true and R is false.</p>
<p>Question 16.<br />
Assertion (A): The altitude of the cone of maximum volume that can be inscribed in a sphere of radius r is \(\frac{4 r}{3}\)<br />
Reason (R): The maximum volume of the cone is \(\frac{8}{7}\) of the volume of the sphere.<br />
Answer:<br />
(B) Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A</p>
<p>Explanation:<br />
Let radius ‘of cone be x and its height be h.<br />
∴ OD = (h &#8211; r)<br />
Volume of cone<br />
(V) = \(\frac{1}{3} \pi x^{2} h\) &#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;(1)<br />

In ∆OCD, x<sup>2</sup> + (h &#8211; r)<sup>2</sup> = r<sup>2</sup> or x<sup>2</sup> = r<sup>2</sup> &#8211; (h &#8211; r)<sup>2</sup><br />
∴ V = \(\frac{1}{3}\)πh {r<sup>2</sup> &#8211; (h &#8211; r)<sup>2</sup>}<br />
= \(\frac{1}{3}\)π(- h<sup>3</sup> + 2h<sup>2</sup>r)<br />
or \(\frac{d V}{d h}=\frac{\pi}{3}\left(-3 h^{2}+4 h r\right)\)<br />
∴ \(\frac{d V}{d h}=0 \text { or } h=\frac{4 r}{3}\)<br />
\(\frac{d^{2} V}{d h^{2}}=\frac{\pi}{3}(-6 h+4 r)\)<br />
= \(\frac{\pi}{3}\left(-6\left(\frac{4 r}{3}\right)+4 r\right)\)<br />
= \(-\frac{4 \pi r}{3}&lt;0\)<br />
∴ at h = \(-\frac{4 \pi r}{3}&lt;0\) Volume is maximum</p>
<p>Maximum volume<br />
= \(\frac{1}{3} \pi \cdot\left\{-\left(\frac{4 r}{3}\right)^{3}+2\left(\frac{4 r}{3}\right)^{2} r\right\}\)<br />
= \(\frac{8}{27} \cdot\left(\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}\right)\)<br />
= \(\frac{8}{27}\) (volume of sphere)<br />
Hence both A and R are true.<br />
R is not the correct explanation of A.</p>

(A) 4x &#8211; \(\frac {1}{2}\) x<sup>2</sup><br />
(B) 4 &#8211; x<br />
(C) x &#8211; 4<br />
(D) x &#8211; \(\frac {1}{2}\)x<sup>2</sup><br />
Answer:<br />
(B) 4 &#8211; x</p>
<p>Explanation:<br />
y = 4x &#8211; \(\frac {1}{2}\) x<sup>2</sup><br />
rate of growth of the pIant with respect to sunlight.<br />
= \(\frac {dy}{dx}\)<br />
= \(\frac {d}{dx}\)\(\left[4 x-\frac{1}{2} x^{2}\right]\)<br />
= (4 &#8211; x)cm/day</p>

<p>Question 3.<br />
What is the maximum height of the plant?<br />
(A) 12 cm<br />
(B) 10 cm<br />
(C) 8 cm<br />
(D) 6 cm<br />
Answer:<br />
(C) 8 cm</p>
<p>Explanation:<br />
We have, number of days for maximum height of plant = 4 Days<br />
∴ Maximum height of plant<br />
\(y_{(x=4)}\) = 4 x 4 &#8211; \(\frac {1}{2}\) x 4 x 4 = 16 &#8211; 8 = 8 cm</p>
<p>Question 4.<br />
What will be the height of the plant after 2 days?<br />
(A) 4 cm<br />
(B) 6 cm<br />
(C) 8 cm<br />
(D) 10 cm<br />
Answer:<br />
(B) 6 cm</p>
<p>Explanation:<br />
Height of plant after 2 days<br />
\(y_{(x=4)}\) = 4 x 2 &#8211; \(\frac {1}{2}\) x 2 x 2 = 8 &#8211; 2= 6 cm</p>
<p>Question 5.<br />
If the height of the plant is 7/2 cm, the number of days it has been exposed to the sunlight is &#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;.<br />
(A) 2<br />
(B) 3<br />
(C) 4<br />
(D) 1<br />
Answer:<br />
(D) 1</p>
<p>Explanation:<br />
Given, y = \(\frac {7}{2}\)<br />
i.e., 4x &#8211; \(\frac {1}{2}\) x<sup>2</sup> = \(\frac {7}{2}\)<br />
8x &#8211; x<sup>2</sup> = 7<br />
x<sup>2</sup> &#8211; 8x + 7 = 0<br />
x<sup>2</sup> &#8211; 7x &#8211; x + 7 = 0<br />
x(x &#8211; 7) &#8211; (x &#8211; 7) = 0<br />
x = 17<br />
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.</p>

<p>Explanation:<br />
We, have<br />
P(x) = &#8211; 5x<sup>2</sup> + 125x + 37500<br />
P(x) = &#8211; 10x + 125<br />
For maximum profit<br />
P'(x) = 0<br />
&#8211; 10 x + 125 = O<br />
&#8211; 10 x = -125<br />
x = \(\frac {125}{10}\)<br />
= 12.5</p>

<p>Question 5.<br />
What will be production of the company when the profit is ₹ 38,250 ?<br />
(A) 15<br />
(B) 30<br />
(C) 10<br />
(D) data is not sufficient to find<br />
Answer:<br />
(C) 10</p>
<p>Explanation:<br />
Profit = 38,250<br />
i.e., -5x<sup>2</sup> + 125x +37,500 = 38,250<br />
5x<sup>2</sup> &#8211; 125x + 750 = 0<br />
x<sup>2</sup> &#8211; 25x + 150 = 0<br />
x(x &#8211; 15)-10 (x &#8211; 15) = 0<br />
(x &#8211; 10) (x -15) = 0<br />
x = 10,15<br />
P(x) = -5x<sup>2</sup> + 125x + 37500<br />
P(10) = 5 x 10<sup>2</sup> + 125 x 10 + 37500<br />
= &#8211; 500 + 1250 + 37500<br />
= ₹ 38,250<br />
Hence, production of company is 10 units when the profit is ₹ 38250.</p>

(C) \(\frac {1}{360}\)<br />
(D) \(\frac {-1}{360}\)<br />
Answer:<br />
(D) \(\frac {-1}{360}\)</p>
<p>Explanation:<br />
Slope of the normal based on the position of the slick<br />
= \(\frac{-1}{f^{\prime}(x)}\)<br />
f'(x) = 6 [8x<sup>3</sup> &#8211; 2x]<br />
f'(2) = 6[8 x 8 &#8211; 2 x 2]<br />
= 6[64 &#8211; 4]<br />
= 360<br />
∴ Slope = \(\frac {1}{360}\)</p>

(A) x + 360 y = 1082<br />
(B) y = 360 x &#8211; 717<br />
(C) x = 717y + 360<br />
(D) None of these<br />
Answer:<br />
(B) y = 360 x &#8211; 717</p>
<p>Explanation:<br />
We have<br />
\(\left.\frac{d y}{d x}\right]_{(2,3)}\) = 360<br />
∴ (y &#8211; y&#8217;) = \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) (x &#8211; x&#8217;)<br />
(y &#8211; 3) = 360(x &#8211; 2)<br />
y &#8211; 3 = 360x &#8211; 720<br />
y = 360x &#8211; 717</p>

<p>Question 1.<br />
11 x and y represents the length and breadth of the rectangular region, then the relation between the variables is:<br />
(A) x + πy = 100<br />
(B) 2x + πy = 200<br />
(C) πx + y = 50<br />
(D) x + y = 100<br />
Answer:<br />
(B) 2x + πy = 200</p>
<p>Explanation:<br />
Perimeter =<br />
x + x + \(\frac{\pi y}{2}+\frac{\pi y}{2}\)<br />
200 = 2x + \(\frac{2 \pi y}{2}\)<br />
200 = 2x + πy</p>
<p>Question 2.<br />
The area of the rectangular region A expressed as a function of x is :<br />
(A) \(\frac {2}{π}\) (100 x &#8211; x<sup>2</sup>)<br />
(B) \(\frac {1}{π}\) (100x &#8211; x<sup>2</sup>)<br />
(C) \(\frac {x}{π}\) (100x &#8211; x)<br />
(D) πy<sup>2</sup> + \(\frac {1}{π}\) (100x &#8211; x<sup>2</sup>)<br />
Answer:<br />
(A) \(\frac {2}{π}\) (100 x &#8211; x<sup>2</sup>)</p>
<p>Explanation:<br />
Area (A) = x × y<br />
= x × \(\left(\frac{200-2 x}{\pi}\right)\) [from (i)]<br />
\(\frac {2}{π}\) [100x &#8211; x<sup>2</sup>] &#8230;&#8230;&#8230;(i)</p>
<p>Question 3.<br />
The maximum value of area A is:<br />
(A) \(\frac{\pi}{3200}\) m<sup>2</sup><br />
(B) \(\frac{\pi}{3200}\) m<sup>2</sup><br />
(C) \(\frac{\pi}{5000}\) m<sup>2</sup><br />
(D) \(\frac{\pi}{1000}\) m<sup>2</sup><br />
Answer:<br />
(C) \(\frac{\pi}{5000}\) m<sup>2</sup></p>
<p>Explanation:<br />
\(\frac{dA}{dx}\) = \(\frac{2}{π}\) [100 &#8211; 2x]<br />
\(\frac{dA}{dx}\) = \(\frac{2}{π}\) [500 &#8211; 2x]<br />
\(\frac{dA}{dx}\) = 0<br />
x = 50 &#8230;&#8230;&#8230;(i)<br />
A = \(\frac{2}{π}\)[ 100 × 50 &#8211; 50 × 50]<br />
= \(\frac{2}{π}\) [5000 &#8211; 2500]<br />
= \(\frac{2}{π}\) x 2500<br />
= \(\frac{2}{5000}\) m<sup>2</sup></p>

(B) 12(x &#8211; 4)<br />
(C) 24(x &#8211; 8)<br />
(D) 12(x + 4)<br />
Answer:<br />
(C) 24(x &#8211; 8)</p>
<p>Explanation:<br />
\(\frac{d^{2} \mathrm{~V}}{d x^{2}}\) = \(\frac{d}{d x}\left[\frac{d V}{d x}\right]\)<br />
\(\frac{d}{d x}\left[12\left(x^{2}-16 x+48\right)\right]\)<br />
= [12 (2x &#8211; 16)]<br />
= 24(x &#8211; 8)</p>

(A) 3<br />
(B) 9<br />
(C) 1<br />
(D) 4<br />
Answer:<br />
(D) 4</p>
<p>Question 5.<br />
Volume is maximum at what height of that open box?<br />
(A) 3 cm<br />
(B) 9 cm<br />
(C) 1 cm<br />
(D) 4 cm<br />
Answer:<br />
(D) 4 cm</p>
<p>Explanation:<br />
For maximum value,<br />
\(\frac {dV}{dx}\) = 0<br />
i.e.,12(x<sup>2</sup> &#8211; 16x + 48) = 0<br />
x<sup>2</sup> &#8211; 16x + 48 = 0<br />
x<sup>2</sup> &#8211; 4x &#8211; 12x + 48 = 0<br />
x(x &#8211; 4) -12(x &#8211; 4) = 0<br />
(x &#8211; 4(x &#8211; 12) = 0<br />
x = 4,12<br />
V(x = 4) = (24 &#8211; 2 × 4)(24 &#8211; 2 × 4) × 4<br />
= 16 × 16 × 4<br />
= 1024 cm<sup>3</sup><br />
V(x = 12) = (24 &#8211; 2 × 12)(24 &#8211; 2 × 12) × 12 = 0<br />
Hence, volume is maximum at height 4 cm of the open box.</p>

\(\frac{r}{r_{1}}\) = ?<br />
(A) \(\frac{h-h_{1}}{h_{1}}\)<br />
(B) \(\frac{h_{1}-h}{h_{1}}\)<br />
(C) \(\frac{h-h_{1}}{h}\)<br />
(D) \(\frac{h+h_{1}}{h_{1}}\)<br />
Answer:<br />
(B) \(\frac{h_{1}-h}{h_{1}}\)</p>
<p>Explanation:<br />
In ∆DEC and ∆OBC [Since DEC 1OBC]<br />
\(\frac{D E}{O B}=\frac{E C}{B C}\)<br />
\(\frac{h}{h_{1}}=\frac{r_{1}-r}{r_{1}}\)<br />
r<sub>2</sub>h = r<sub>1</sub>h<sub>1</sub> &#8211; rh<sub>1</sub><br />
r<sub>1</sub>(h &#8211; h<sub>1</sub>) = &#8211; rh<sub>1</sub><br />
or \(\frac{r}{r_{1}}=\frac{h_{1}-h}{h_{1}}\)</p>
<p>Question 2.<br />
Find the value of ‘S’?<br />
(A) \(\frac{2 \pi r}{h}\left(h_{1}-h\right) h\)<br />
(B) \(\frac{2 \pi r}{h_{1}}\left(h_{1}-h\right) h\)<br />

(D) \(\frac{2 \pi r_{1}}{h_{1}}\left(h_{1}+h\right) h\)<br />
Answer:<br />
(C) \(\frac{2 \pi r_{1}}{h_{1}}\left(h_{1}-h\right) h\)</p>
<p>Explanation:<br />
Curved surface area of cylinder,<br />
s = \(\frac{2 \pi r}{r_{1}}\left(r_{1}-r\right) h_{1}\)<br />
= \(2 \pi r h_{1} \times \frac{h}{h_{1}}\) [∴ \(\frac{h}{h_{1}}=\frac{r_{1}-r}{r_{1}}\)]<br />
= \(\frac{2 \pi r_{1}\left(h_{1}-h\right) \cdot h}{h_{1}}\) [∴ \(r=r_{1} \frac{\left(h_{1}-h\right)}{h_{1}}\)]<br />
∴ S = \(\frac{2 \pi r_{1}}{h_{1}}\left(h_{1}-h\right) h\)</p>

(C) \(-\frac{4 \pi r_{1}}{h}\)<br />
(D) \(\frac{4 \pi r_{1}}{h}\)<br />
Answer:<br />
(A) \(-\frac{4 \pi r_{1}}{h_{1}}\)</p>
<p>Explanation:<br />
\(\frac{d^{2} S}{d h^{2}}=\frac{2 \pi r_{1}}{h_{1}}(0-2)\)<br />
= \(\frac{-4 \pi r_{1}}{h_{1}}\)</p>
<p>Question 5.<br />

(D) \(\frac{r_{1}}{2}=\frac{r}{3}\)<br />
Answer:<br />
(C) r<sub>1</sub> = 2r</p>
<p>Explanation:<br />
S = \(\frac{2 \pi r}{r_{1}}\left(r_{1}-r\right) h_{1}\)<br />
S = \(\frac{2 \pi h_{1}\left(r r_{1}-r^{2}\right)}{r_{1}}\)<br />
\(\frac {dS}{dr}\) = \(\frac{2 \pi h_{1}\left(r_{1}-2 r\right)}{r_{1}}\)<br />
\(\frac {dS}{dr}\) = 0<br />
\(\frac{2 \pi h_{1}\left(r_{1}-2 r\right)}{r_{1}}\) = 0<br />
r<sub>1</sub> &#8211; 2r = 0<br />
r<sub>1</sub> = 2r</p>
