Pls answer q23 Pls answer q23 24. Its 25. one part square is least. if 2 The value of a for which the sum of e squares the roots of the equation — (a —2) x — a + — least, is (B) Two towns A and B are 60 km apart. A school be built to serve 150 students in town A students in town B. If the total distance travelled by all 200 students is to be as possible, then the school should be built at (A) town B Share with your friends Share 0 Brijendra Pal answered this Total length of the wire = lNow, l = length of wire bent in the form of circle + length of wire bent in the form of square⇒l = 2πr + 4x⇒x = l - 2πr4 ....1Let A denotes the sum of the areas of circle and square.A = πr2 + x2⇒A = πr2 + l - 2πr42⇒A = πr2 + l2 + 4π2r2 - 4lπr16⇒dAdr = 2πr + 8π2r - 4lπ16⇒dAdr = 2πr + 2π2r - lπ4For maxima or minima, dAdr = 0⇒2πr + 2π2r - lπ4 = 0⇒2πr = lπ - 2π2r4⇒8πr = lπ - 2π2r⇒8r = l - 2πr⇒8r = 2πr + 4x - 2πr⇒8r = 4x⇒r = x2Now, d2Adr2 = 2π + 2π24 =2π + π22Now, d2Adr2r=x2 = 2π + π22 > 0So, A is least when r = x2 or x = 2r 0 View Full Answer
