    The sum of two numbers is\[z\], the maximum value of the product of the first and the square of second is

    A) \[4\]                                     

    B) \[1\]

    C) \[3\]                                     

    D) \[0\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Let two numbers are \[x\] and\[(3-x)\]. \[\therefore \]Product, \[P=x{{(3-x)}^{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\frac{dP}{dx}=-2x(3-x)+{{(3-x)}^{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\frac{dP}{dx}=(3-x)(3-3x)\] and        \[\frac{{{d}^{2}}P}{d{{x}^{2}}}=6x-12\] For maxima or minima,\[\frac{dP}{dx}=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[(3-x)(3-3x)=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[x=3,\,\,1\] At\[(x=3)\],                 \[\frac{{{d}^{2}}P}{d{{x}^{2}}}=18-12=6>0\]        (minima) At\[(x=1)\],        \[\frac{{{d}^{2}}P}{d{{x}^{2}}}=-6<0\] So, \[P\]is maximum at\[x=1\]. Maximum value of                 \[P=1{{(3-1)}^{2}}=4\]
