Find the elasticity of supply for the supply function x = 2p2 + 5 when p = 3

Answer»

x = 2p2 + 5 

\(\frac{dx}{dp}\) = 2 x 2p + 0 = 4p 

Elasticity of supply: ηs = \(\frac{p}{x}.\frac{dx}{dp}\)

\(\frac{p}{2p^2+5}\) x 4p

\(\frac{4p^2}{2p^2+5}\)

When p = 3, elasticity of supply, ηs = \(\frac{4\times3^2}{2(3)^2+5}\)

\(\frac{4\times9}{18+5}\)

\(\frac{36}{23}\)

Find the local minimum and local maximum of y = 2x3 – 3x2 – 36x + 10

Answer»

y = 2x3 – 3x2 – 36x + 10 

\(\frac{dy}{dx}\) = 6x2 – 6x – 36 = 6(x2 – x – 6) 

\(\frac{dy}{dx}\) = 0 gives 6(x2 – x – 6) = 0 

6(x – 3) (x + 2) = 0 

x = 3 (or) x = -2 

\(\frac{d^2y}{dx^2}\) = 6(2x – 1)

Case (i): when x = 3, 

\((\frac{d^2y}{dx^2})_{x=3}\) = 6(2 x 3 – 1) 

= 6 x 5 

= 30, positive 

Since \(\frac{d^2y}{dx^2}\) is positive y is minimum when x = 3. 

The local minimum value is obtained by substituting x = 3 in y. 

Local minimum value = 2(33) – 3(32) – 36(3) + 10 

= 2(27) – (27) – 108 + 10 

= 27 – 98 

= -71

Case (ii): when x = -2, 

\((\frac{d^2y}{dx^2})_{x=-2}\) = 6(-2 x 2 – 1) 

= 6 x -5

= -30, negative 

Since \(\frac{d^2y}{dx^2}\) is negative, y is maximum when x = -2. 

Local maximum value = 2(-2)3 – 3(-2)2 – 36(-2) + 10 

= 2(-8) – 3(4) + 72 + 10 

= -16 – 12 + 82 

= -28 + 82 

= 54

Find the equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity for the following functions. Demand: x = 100 – 2p and supply: x = 3p – 50.

Answer»

Demand x = 100 – 2p 

Supply x = 3p – 50 

At equilibrium, demand = supply

100 – 2p = 3p – 50 

-2p – 3p = -100 – 50 

-5p = -150 

p = \(\frac{-150}{-5}\) = 30 

∴ Equilibrium price pE = 30 

Supply, x = 3p – 50 

Put p = 30, we get 

x = 3(30) – 50 = 90 – 50 = 40 

∴ Equilibrium quantity xE = 40

The average cost function associated with producing and marketing x units of an item is given by AC = 2x – 11 + \(\frac{50}{x}\). Find the range of values of the output x, for which AC is increasing.

Answer»

AC increases when \(\frac{d}{dx}\)(AC) > 0 

C = 2x – 11 + \(\frac{50}{x}\)

\(\frac{dC}{dx}\) = 2 – 0 + 50(\(\frac{-1}{x^2}\)) = 2 – \(\frac{50}{x^2}\)

\(\frac{d}{dx}\)(AC) > 0 

2 – \(\frac{50}{x^2}\) > 0 

2 > \(\frac{50}{x^2}\)

2x2 > 50 

x> 25 

x > 5

The cost function of a firm is C = x3 – 12x2 + 48x. Find the level of output (x > 0) at which average cost is minimum.

Answer»

The cost function is C = x3 – 12x2 + 48x 

Average cost is minimum, 

When Average Cost (AC) = Marginal Cost (MC) 

Cost function, C = x3 – 12x2 + 48x

Average Cost, AC = \(\frac{x^3-12x^2+48x}{x}\) = x2 – 12x + 48

Marginal Cost (MC) = \(\frac{dC}{dx}\)

= \(\frac{d}{dx}\)(x3 – 12x2 + 48x) 

= 3x2 – 24x + 48 

But AC = MC 

x2 – 12x + 48 = 3x2 – 24x + 48 

x2 – 3x2 – 12x + 24x = 0 

-2x2 + 12x = 0 

Divide by -2 we get, x2 – 6x = 0

x(x – 6) = 0 

x = 0 (or) x – 6 = 0 

x = 0 (or) x = 6 

But x > 0 

∴ x = 6 

Output = 6 units

If demand and the cost function of a firm are p = 2 – x and C = -2x2 + 2x + 7 then its profit function is: (a) x2 + 7(b) x2 – 7 (c) -x2 + 7 (d) -x2 – 7

Answer»

(b) x2 – 7

Profit = Revenue – Cost 

= (2 – x)x – (-2x2 + 2x + 7) 

= 2x – x2 + 2x2 – 2x – 7

= x2 – 7

13915.

The demand function is always: (a) Increasing function (b) Decreasing function (c) Non-decreasing function (d) Undefined function

If cot-1 (√sin α) + tan-1 (√sin α) = u, then cos 2u is equal to ...(a) tan2 α(b) 0(c) -1 (d) tan 2α

Answer»

(c) -1

cot-1 x + tan-1 x = π/2 ⇒ u = π/2 so 2u = π 

∴ cos 2u = cos π = -1

Revenue function ‘R’ and cost function ‘C’ are R = 14x – x2 and C = x(x2 – 2). Find the (i) average cost (ii) marginal cost (iii) average revenue and (iv) marginal revenue.

Answer»

R = 14x – x2 and C = x(x2 – 2) 

C = x3 – 2x 

(i) Average Cost (AC) = \(\frac{Total\,cost}{Output}\) = \(\frac{C(x)}{x}\)

\(\frac{x^3-2x}{x}\)

\(\frac{x^3}{x}-\frac{2x}{x}\)

= x2 - 2

(ii) Marginal Cost (MC) = \(\frac{dC}{dx}\)

= \(\frac{d}{dx}\)(x3 – 2x) 

= \(\frac{d}{dx}\)(x3) – 2 \(\frac{d}{dx}\)(x) 

= 3x2 – 2

(iii) Average Revenue R = 14x – x2 

Average Revenue (AR) = \(\frac{Total\,Revenue}{Output}=\frac{R(x)}{x}\)

\(\frac{14x-x^2}{x}\)

\(\frac{14x}{x}-\frac{x^2}{x}\)

= 14 - x

(iv) Marginal Revenue (MR) = \(\frac{dR}{dx}\)

= \(\frac{d}{dx}\)(14x – x2

= 14 \(\frac{d}{dx}\)(x) – \(\frac{d}{dx}\)(x2

= 14(1) – 2x 

= 14 – 2x

i.e., u(tx, ty) = (tx)2 (ty)3 cos\((\frac{tx}{ty})\) 

= t2 x2 t3 y3 cos(\(\frac{x}{y}\)

= tx2 y3 cos(\(\frac{x}{y}\)

= t5

∴ u is a homogeneous function in x and y of degree 5. 

∴ By Euler’s theorem, \(x.\frac{∂u}{∂x}+y.\frac{∂u}{∂y}\) = 5u

Hence Proved.

If z = (ax + b)(cy + d), then find \(\frac{∂z}{∂x}\) and \(\frac{∂z}{∂y}\).

Answer»

Given, z = (ax + b)(cy + d) 

Differentiating partially with respect to x we get, 

\(\frac{∂z}{∂x}\) = (cy + d) \(\frac{∂}{∂x}\)(ax + b) [∵ (cy + d) is constant] 

= (cy + d)(a + 0) 

= a(cy + d) 

Differentiating partially with respect to y we get, 

\(\frac{∂z}{∂y}\) = (ax + b) \(\frac{∂}{∂y}\)(cy + d) 

= (ax + b)(c + 0) 

= c(ax + b)

If the production function is z = 3x2 – 4xy + 3y2 where x is the labour and y is the capital, find the marginal productivities of x and y when x = 1, y = 2.

Answer»

Marginal productivity of labour, \(\frac{∂z}{∂x}\) = 6x – 4y

Marginal productivity of labour when x = 1, y = 2 is

\((\frac{∂z}{∂x})_{(1,2)}\) = 6(1) – 4(1) 

= 6 – 4 

= 2 

Marginal productivity of capital, \(\frac{∂z}{∂y}\) = 0 – 4x(1) + 3(2y) 

= -4x + 6y

Marginal productivity of capital when x = 1, y = 2 is

\((\frac{∂z}{∂y})_{(1,2)}\) = -4(1) + 6(2) 

= -4 + 12 

= 8

Find the cubic polynomial in x which attains its maximum value 4 and minimum value 0 at x = -1 and 1 respectively.

Answer»

Let the cubic polynomial bey = f(x). Since it attains a maximum atx = -1 and a minimum at x = 1.

dy/dx = 0 at x = -1 and 1

dy/dx = k(x + 1)(x + 1) = k(x2 - 1)

Separating the variables we have dy = k(x2 – 1) dx

∫dy = k∫(x2 - 1) dx 

y = k((x3/3) - x) + c ... (1)

When x = – 1, y = 4 and when x =1,7 = 0 

Substituting the equation (1) we have 

2k + 3c = 12; – 2k + 3c = 0 

On solving we have k = 3 and c = 2. 

Substituting these values in (1) we get the required cubic polynomial y = x3 – 3x + 2.

In any triangle ABC, prove the: a (sin B – sin C) + b (sin C – sin A) + c (sin A – sin B) = 0

Answer»

On using the sine rule we know,

a/sin A = b/sin B = c/sin C = k

a = k sin A, b = k sin B, c = k sin C

Let us consider the LHS
a (sin B – sin C) + b (sin C – sin A) + c (sin A – sin B)

On substituting the values of a, b, c from sine rule in above equation, we get

a (sin B – sin C) + b (sin C – sin A) + c (sin A – sin B) = k sin A (sin B – sin C) + k sin B (sin C – sin A) + k sin C (sin A – sin B)

= k sin A sin B – k sin A sin C + k sin B sin C – k sin B sin A + k sin C sin A – k sin C sin B

Then, upon simplification, we get

= 0

= RHS

Thus proved.

In any ∆ABC, prove: if a = 18, b = 24, c = 30, find cos A, cos B and cos C

Answer»

Given as

Sides of a triangle are a = 18, b = 24 and c = 30

On using the formulas,

Cos A = (b2 + c2 – a2)/2bc

Cos B = (a2 + c2 – b2)/2ac

Cos C = (a2 + b2 – c2)/2ab

Therefore now let us substitute the values of a, b and c we get,

Cos A = (b2 + c2 – a2)/2bc

= (242 + 302 – 182)/2 × 24 × 30

= 1152/1440

= 4/5

Cos B = (a2 + c2 – b2)/2ac

= (182 + 302 – 242)/2 × 18 × 30

= 648/1080

= 3/5

Cos C = (a2 + b2 – c2)/2ab

= (182 + 242 – 302)/2 × 18 × 24

= 0/864

= 0

∴ cos A = 4/5, cos B = 3/5, cos C = 0

13937.

In any ∆ABC, the sides of a triangle are a = 4, b = 6 and c = 8, show that: 8 cos A + 16 cos B + 4 cos C = 17.

Answer»

Given as

Sides of a triangle are a = 4, b = 6 and c = 8

On using the formulas,

Cos A = (b2 + c2 – a2)/2bc

Cos B = (a2 + c2 – b2)/2ac

Cos C = (a2 + b2 – c2)/2ab

Therefore now let us substitute the values of a, b and c we get,

Cos A = (b2 + c2 – a2)/2bc

= (62 + 82 – 42)/2 × 6 × 8

= (36 + 64 – 16)/96

= 84/96

= 7/8

Cos B = (a2 + c2 – b2)/2ac

= (42 + 82 – 62)/2 × 4 × 8

= (16 + 64 – 36)/64

= 44/64

Cos C = (a2 + b2 – c2)/2ab

= (42 + 62 – 82)/2 × 4 × 6

= (16 + 36 – 64)/48

= -12/48

= -1/4

Now considering the LHS

8 cos A + 16 cos B + 4 cos C = 8 × 7/8 + 16 × 44/64 + 4 × (-1/4)

= 7 + 11 – 1

= 17

Thus proved.

13938.

In any ∆ABC, if a = 5, b = 6 and C = 60°, show that its area is (15√3)/2 sq. units.

Answer»

Given as 

In a ∆ABC, a = 5, b = 6 and C = 60°

On using the formula,

The area of ∆ABC = 1/2 ab sinθ where, a and b are the lengths of the sides of a triangle and θ is the angle between sides.

Therefore,

Area of ∆ABC = 1/2 ab sinθ

= 1/2 × 5 × 6 × sin 60°

= 30/2 × 3/2

= (153)/2 sq. units

Thus proved.

Sum of two numbers is 95. If one exceeds the other by 15, find the numbers.

Answer»

Sum of two number = 95
Let the first number be x, then another number be x + 
15 .
According to the question, x+x+15=95
=> 2x + 15 = 95 

=> 2x + 15 - 15 = 95 - 15 [Subtracting 15 from both sides]
=> 2x=80

=> 2x/2=80/2 [Dividing both sides by 2]
=> x = 40
Hence, the first number = 40
And another number = 40 + 15=55

Sum of two numbers is 95. If one exceeds the other by 15, find the numbers. 

Answer»

Let one number be x. Therefore, the other number will be x + 15.

According to the question,

x + x + 15 = 95

2x + 15 = 95

On transposing 15 to R.H.S, we obtain

2x = 95 − 15

2x = 80

On dividing both sides by 2, we obtain

2x/2 = 80/2

x = 40

x + 15 = 40 + 15 = 55

Hence, the numbers are 40 and 55.

The perimeter of a certain sector of a circle of radius 6.5 cm in 31 cm. Find the area of the sector.

Answer»

Perimeter of a sector of circle = 31 cm

Radius = 6.5 cm

Arc length = 31 – (6.5 + 6.5) = 18 cm

Now, Area of sector = 1/2 x Arc length x radius

= 1/2 x 18 x 6.5

= 58.5 cm2

A chord of a circle of radius 14 cm makes a right angle at the centre. Find the areas of the minor and major segments of the circle.

Answer»

Radius of the circle = 14 cm 

Angle subtend at center = 90° 

By Pythagoras theorem = AB2 = OA2 + OB2 

= 142 +142 

AB = \(14\sqrt{2}\)

Area of sector OAB = \(\frac{90}{360}\timesπr^2\)

\(\frac{1}{4}πr^2\)

\(\frac{1}{4}\times\frac{22}7\times14\times14\) = 154 cm2

Area of triangle AOB = \(\frac{1}2\times14\times14\) = 98 cm2

So area of minor segment – OACB =area of sector – area of triangle

= 154 – 98 = 56 cm2 

Area of major segment = area of circle - area of minor segment 

\(\frac{22}7\times14\times14\) - 56

= 44 ×14 – 56 = 560 cm2

I have a total of 300 coins of denomination Rs1, Rs2and Rs5.The number of 2coins is 3 times the number of Rs5coins. The total number of coins is 160. How many coins of each denomination are with me?

Answer»

Solution: Given, total value of Rs = Rs 300
Total number of coins = 160
Coins of denomination = Re 1, Rs 2 and Rs 5
Number of Rs 2 coins = 3 x number Rs 5 coins

Let the number of coins of Rs 5 = m
Since, the number coins of Rs 2 is 3 times of the number of coins of Rs 5
Therefore, number of coins of Rs 2 = m x 3 = 3m
Now, Number of coins of Re 1 = Total number of coins – (Number of Rs 5 coins + Number of Rs 2 coins)

Therefore,
Number of coins of Re 1 = 160 – (m + 3m) = 160 – 4m
Total Rs = (Re 1 x Number of Re 1 coins) + (Rs 2 x Number of Rs 2 coins) + (Rs 5 x Number of Rs 5 coins)
⇒ 300 = [1 x (160 – 4m)] + (2 x 3m) + (5 x m)
⇒ 300 = (160 – 4m) + 6m + 5m
⇒ 300 = 160 – 4m + 6m + 5m
⇒ 300 = 160 – 4m + 11m
⇒ 300 = 160 + 7m

After transposing 160 to LHS, we get
300 – 160 = 7m
⇒ 140 = 7 m

After dividing both sides by 7, we get

140/7 = 7m/7

=> 140/7 = m

=> m = 20

Thus, number of coins of Rs 5 = 20
Now, since, number of coins of Re 1 = 160 – 4m
Thus, by substituting the value of m, we get
Number of coins of Re 1 = 160 – (4 x 20) = 160 – 80 = 80
Now, number coins of Rs 2 = 3m

Thus, by substituting the value of m, we get
Number of coins of Rs 2 = 3m = 3 x 20 = 60
Therefore,
Number of coins of Re 1 = 80
Number of coins of Rs 2 = 60
Number of coins of Rs 5 = 20

The organizers of an essay competition decide that a winner in the competition gets a prize of Rs 100 and a participant who does not win gets a prize of Rs 25. The total prize money distributed is Rs 3000. Find the number of winners, if the total number of participants is 63.

Answer»

Let the number of winners be x. Therefore, the number of participants who did not win will be 63 − x.

Amount given to the winners = Rs (100 × x) = Rs 100x

Amount given to the participants who did not win = Rs [25(63 − x)] = Rs (1575 − 25x)

According to the given question,

100x + 1575 − 25x = 3000

On transposing 1575 to R.H.S, we obtain

75x = 3000 − 1575

75x = 1425

On dividing both sides by 75, we obtain

75x/75 = 1425/75

x = 19

Hence, number of winners = 19

A sector of 56°, cut out from a circle, contains 17.6 cm2. Find the radius of the circle.

Answer»

Area of the sector = 17.6 cm2 (given)

We know, Area of the sector = θ/360 (πr2) square units

This implies,

θ/360 (πr2) = 17.6

56/360 x 22/7 x r2 = 17.6

r2 = 36

or r = 6

Radius of the circle is 6 cm.

The circumference of a circle is 8 cm. Find the area of the sector whose central angle is 72°.

Answer»

Circumference of a circle = 8 cm

Central angle = 72°

Now, Circumference of a circle = 2πr

8 = 2πr

r = 14/11 cm

Area of sector = θ/360 x (πr2)

= 72/360 x 22/7 x 14/11 x 14/11

= 1.02 cm2

I have a total of Rs 300 in coins of denomination Re 1, Rs 2 and Rs 5. The number of Rs 2 coins is 3 times the number of Rs 5 coins. The total number of coins is 160. How many coins of each denomination are with me?

Answer»

Let the number of Rs 5 coins be x. 

Number of Rs 2 coins = 3 × Number of Rs 5 coins = 3x

Number of Re 1 coins = 160 − (Number of coins of Rs 5 and of Rs 2)

= 160 − (3x + x) = 160 − 4x

Amount of Re 1 coins = Rs [1 × (160 − 4x)] = Rs (160 − 4x)

Amount of Rs 2 coins = Rs (2 × 3x)= Rs 6x

Amount of Rs 5 coins = Rs (5 × x) = Rs 5x

It is given that the total amount is Rs 300.

∴ 160 − 4x + 6x + 5x = 300 160 + 7x = 300

On transposing 160 to R.H.S, we obtain

7x = 300 - 160

7x = 140

On dividing both sides by 7, we obtain

7x/7 = 140/7

x = 20

Number of Re 1 coins = 160 − 4x 

= 160 − 4 × 20 = 160 − 80 = 80 

Number of Rs 2 coins = 3x = 3 × 20  = 60 

Number of Rs 5 coins = x = 20
