Question There is a bridge whose length of three sides of a trapezium other than base are equal to 10 cm. Based on the above information answer the following:
Question 1 What is the value of DP? (A) โ(100โ๐ฅ^2 ) (B) โ(๐ฅ^2โ100) (C) 100โ๐ฅ^2 (D)ใ ๐ฅใ^2 โ 100
In ฮ ADP
By Pythagoras theorem
DP2 + AP2 = AD2
DP2 + x2 = 102
DP2 + x2 = 100
DP2 = 100 โ ๐ฅ2
DP = โ(๐๐๐ โ๐๐)
So, the correct answer is (A)
Question 2 What is the area of trapezium A(x)? (A) (๐ฅ โ10)โ(100โ๐ฅ^2 ) (B) (๐ฅ+10)โ(100โ๐ฅ^2 ) (C) (๐ฅโ10)(100โ๐ฅ^2) (D) (๐ฅ+10)(100โ๐ฅ^2 ") "
Let A be the area of trapezium ABCD
A = 1/2 (Sum of parallel sides) ร (Height)
A = ๐/๐ (DC + AB) ร DP
A = 1/2 (10+2๐ฅ+10) (โ(100โ๐ฅ2))
A = 1/2 (2๐ฅ+20) (โ(100โ๐ฅ2))
A = (๐+๐๐) (โ(๐๐๐โ๐๐))
So, the correct answer is (B)
Question 3 If A'(x) = 0, then what are the values of x? (A) 5,โ10 (B) โ5, 10 (C) โ5,โ10 (D) 5,10
A = (๐+๐๐) (โ(๐๐๐โ๐๐))
Since A has a square root
It will be difficult to differentiate
Let Z = A2
= (๐ฅ+10)^2 (100โ๐ฅ2)
Where A'(x) = 0, there Zโ(x) = 0
So, the correct answer is (A)
Differentiating Z
Z =(๐ฅ+10)^2 " " (100โ๐ฅ2)
Differentiating w.r.t. x
Zโ = ๐((๐ฅ + 10)^2 " " (100 โ ๐ฅ2))/๐๐
Using product rule
As (๐ข๐ฃ)โฒ = uโv + vโu
Zโ = [(๐ฅ + 10)^2 ]^โฒ (100 โ ๐ฅ^2 )+(๐ฅ + 10)^2 " " (100 โ ๐ฅ^2 )^โฒ
Zโ = 2(๐ฅ + 10)(100 โ ๐ฅ^2 )โ2๐ฅ(๐ฅ + 10)^2
Zโ = 2(๐ฅ + 10)[100 โ ๐ฅ^2โ๐ฅ(๐ฅ+10)]
Zโ = 2(๐ฅ + 10)[100 โ ๐ฅ^2โ๐ฅ^2โ10๐ฅ]
Zโ = 2(๐ฅ + 10)[โ2๐ฅ^2โ10๐ฅ+100]
Zโ = โ๐(๐ + ๐๐)[๐^๐+๐๐+๐๐]
Putting ๐ ๐/๐ ๐=๐
โ4(๐ฅ + 10)[๐ฅ^2+5๐ฅ+50] =0
(๐ฅ + 10)[๐ฅ^2+5๐ฅ+50] =0
(๐ฅ + 10) [๐ฅ2+10๐ฅโ5๐ฅโ50]=0
(๐ฅ + 10) [๐ฅ(๐ฅ+10)โ5(๐ฅ+10)]=0
(๐ + ๐๐)(๐โ๐)(๐+๐๐)=๐
So, ๐ฅ=๐ & ๐=โ๐๐
So, the correct answer is (A)
Question 4 What is the value of maximum Area? (A) 75 โ2 cm^2 (B) 75 โ3 cm^2 (C) 75 โ5 cm^2 (D) 75 โ7 cm^2
We know that
Zโ(x) = 0 at x = 5, โ10
Since x is length, it cannot be negative
โด x = 5
Finding sign of Zโโ for x = 5
Now,
Zโ = โ4(๐ฅ + 10)[๐ฅ^2+5๐ฅ+50]
Zโ = โ4[๐ฅ(๐ฅ^2+5๐ฅ+50)+10(๐ฅ^2+5๐ฅ+50)]
Zโ = โ4[๐ฅ^3+5๐ฅ^2+50๐ฅ+10๐ฅ^2+50๐ฅ+500]
Zโ = โ๐[๐^๐+๐๐๐^๐+๐๐๐๐+๐๐๐]
Differentiating w.r.t x
Zโโ = ๐(โ4[๐^๐ + ๐๐๐^๐ + ๐๐๐๐ + ๐๐๐])/๐๐
Zโโ =โ4[3๐ฅ^2+15 ร 2๐ฅ+100]
Zโโ =โ4[3๐ฅ^2+30๐ฅ+100]
Putting x = 5
Zโโ (5) = โ4[3(5^2) +30(5) +100]
= โ4 ร 375
= โ1500
< 0
Hence, ๐ฅ = 5 is point of Maxima
โด Z is Maximum at ๐ฅ = 5
That means,
Area A is maximum when x = 5
Finding maximum area of trapezium
A = (๐ฅ+10) โ(100โ๐ฅ2)
= (5+10) โ(100โ(5)2)
= (15) โ(100โ25)
= 15 โ75
= 75โ๐ cm2
So, the correct answer is (C)
