Previous Year Question (PYQs)



In a school, an auditorium was used for its cultural activities.  
The shape of the floor of the auditorium is rectangular with dimensions $x$ and $y$ $(x>y)$ and has fixed parameter $p$.

Based on the above information answer the following questions.

Maximum area of floor is:





Solution

From the given condition

$p=2(x+y)$

So

$x+y=\frac{p}{2}$

Area of rectangle

$A=xy$

Put

$y=\frac{p}{2}-x$

So

$A=x\left(\frac{p}{2}-x\right)$

$A=\frac{px}{2}-x^2$


To maximize area

$\frac{dA}{dx}=\frac{p}{2}-2x=0$

Hence

$x=\frac{p}{4}$


Then

$y=\frac{p}{2}-\frac{p}{4}=\frac{p}{4}$


Maximum area

$A=xy$

$=\frac{p}{4}\times\frac{p}{4}$

$=\frac{p^2}{16}$
