Question An open box is to be made out of a piece of cardboard measuring (24 cm × 24 cm) by cutting of equal squares from the corners and turning up the sides. Based on the above information answer the following questions:
Question 1 Find the volume of that open box? (a) 4x3 – 96x2 + 576x (b) 4x3 + 96x2 – 576x (c) 2x3 – 48x2 + 288x (d) 2x3 + 48x2 + 288x
Here,
Height of box = x cm
Length of box = (24 − 2x) cm
Breadth of box = (24 − 2x) cm
Now,
Volume = Length × Breadth × Height
= (24 − 2x) × (24 − 2x) × x
= x(24 − 2x)2
= x(242 + 4x2 − 2 × 24 × 2x)
= x(576 + 4x2 − 96x)
= x(4x2 − 96x + 576)
= 4x3 − 96x2 + 576x
So, the correct answer is (A)
Question 2 Find the value of 𝑑𝑉/𝑑𝑥 (a) 12(x2 + 16x – 48) (b) 12(x2 – 16x + 48) (c) 6(x2 + 8x – 24) (d) 6(x2 – 8x + 24)
Now,
Volume V = 4x3 − 96x2 + 576x
Differentiating w.r.t. x
𝑑𝑉/𝑑𝑥=(𝑑(4𝑥^3 − 96𝑥^2 + 576𝑥))/𝑑𝑥
𝑑𝑉/𝑑𝑥=4 × 3𝑥^2−96 × 2𝑥+576
𝑑𝑉/𝑑𝑥=12𝑥^2−192𝑥+576
𝒅𝑽/𝒅𝒙=𝟏𝟐(𝒙^𝟐−𝟏𝟔𝒙+𝟒𝟖)
So, the correct answer is (B)
Question 3 Find the value of (𝑑^2 𝑉)/(𝑑𝑥^2 ) (a) 24(x + 8) (b) 12(x – 4) (c) 24(x – 8) (d) 12(x + 4)
Now,
𝑑𝑉/𝑑𝑥=12(𝑥^2−16𝑥+48)
Differentiating w.r.t x
(𝑑^2 𝑉)/(𝑑𝑥^2 )=𝑑(12(𝑥^2−16𝑥+48))/𝑑𝑥
(𝑑^2 𝑉)/(𝑑𝑥^2 )=12(2𝑥−16+0)
(𝑑^2 𝑉)/(𝑑𝑥^2 )=12(2𝑥−16)
(𝑑^2 𝑉)/(𝑑𝑥^2 )=12 × 2(𝑥−8)
(𝑑^2 𝑉)/(𝑑𝑥^2 )=𝟐𝟒(𝒙−𝟖)
So, the correct answer is (C)
Question 4 Find the value of x other than 12? (a) 3 (b) 9 (c) 1 (d) 4
Here we need to value of x for which Volume is Maximum
Putting 𝒅𝑽/𝒅𝒙=𝟎
12(𝑥^2−16𝑥+48)=0
𝑥^2−16𝑥+48=0
𝑥^2−12𝑥−4𝑥+48=0
𝑥(𝑥−12)−4(𝑥−12)=0
(𝑥−4) (𝑥−12)=0
So, x = 4, 12
Now, checking sign of
Volume V = 4x3 − 96x2 + 576x
= 4x(x2 − 24x + 144)
For x = 1
Volume = 4(1) (12 − 24(1) + 144)
So, the correct answer is (D)
Question 4 Volume is maximum at what height of that open box? (a) 3 cm (b) 9 cm (c) 1 cm (d) 4 cm
From Question 4
Volume ix maximum at x = 4 cm
So, the correct answer is (D)
