    The minimum value of the expression \[7-20x+11{{x}^{2}}\] is

    A)            \[\frac{177}{11}\]

    B)   \[-\frac{177}{11}\]

    C)  \[-\frac{23}{11}\]

    D)            \[\frac{23}{11}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

               Given \[f(x)=7-20x+11{{x}^{2}}\]                    \[f'(x)=-20+22x\]                    Put \[f'(x)=0\] i.e., \[-20+22x=0\]                    Þ \[x=10/11\]and \[f''(x)=22>0\]                    Hence at \[x=10/11,\ \ \ f(x)\]will have minimum value,                     \[\therefore f\,\left( \frac{10}{11} \right)=7-\frac{200}{11}+\frac{100\times 11}{121}\]\[=7-\frac{200}{11}+\frac{100}{11}\]\[=-\frac{23}{11}\].
