    The minimum value of \[px+qy\] when \[xy={{r}^{2}}\] is (where p, q, r are positive)

    A) \[2r\sqrt{pq}\]

    B) \[2pq\sqrt{r}\]

    C) \[-2r\sqrt{pq}\]

    D) \[\sqrt{pq}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[f(x)=px+qy\Rightarrow f(x)=px+\frac{q{{r}^{2}}}{x}\]
    \[f'(x)=P-\frac{q{{r}^{2}}}{x}=0\Rightarrow x=\pm r\sqrt{\frac{q}{p}}\]
    \[f''(x)>0\operatorname{for}\,x=r\sqrt{\frac{q}{p}}\]
    \[\therefore \]\[\,\,f{{(x)}_{\min }}=pr\sqrt{\frac{q}{p}}+\frac{q{{r}^{2}}}{r\frac{q}{p}}\]
    \[=\sqrt{pq}.r+\sqrt{pq}.r=2r\sqrt{pq}\]
