    The minimum value of \[P(1,\,1)\] is                                                               [DCE 2005]

    A)            \[\frac{15}{2}\]                   

    B)            \[\frac{11}{2}\]

    C)            \[\frac{-13}{2}\]

    D)            \[\frac{71}{8}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

               \[f(a)=2{{a}^{2}}-3a+10\]            \[f'(a)=4a-3,f''(a)=4>0\]                    for exteremum, \[f'(a)=0\Rightarrow a=\frac{3}{4}\]                    \ \[f(a)\] is minimum at \[a=\frac{3}{4}\]                    \[f{{(a)}_{\min }}=2\times {{\left( \frac{3}{4} \right)}^{2}}-3\times \left( \frac{3}{4} \right)+10=\frac{71}{8}\].
