    If \[x\in \mathbf{R},\]then the maximum value of \[y=2(a-x)(x+\sqrt{{{x}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}})\] is

    A) \[{{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}\]

    B) \[{{a}^{2}}-{{b}^{2}}\]

    C) \[{{a}^{2}}+2{{b}^{2}}\]

    D) None of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Let \[t=x+\sqrt{{{x}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}}\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]\[\frac{1}{t}=\frac{1}{x+\sqrt{{{x}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}}}=\frac{\sqrt{{{x}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}}-x}{{{b}^{2}}}\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]\[t-\frac{{{b}^{2}}}{t}=2x\And t+\frac{{{b}^{2}}}{t}=2\sqrt{{{x}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}}\]
    \[\therefore \]      \[2(a-x)(x+\sqrt{{{x}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}})\]
    \[=\left( 2a-t+\frac{{{b}^{2}}}{t} \right)\left( t \right)=2at-{{t}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]\[{{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}-({{a}^{2}}-2at+{{t}^{2}})\]
    \[={{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}-{{(a-t)}^{2}}\le {{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}\]
