    The maximum value of the function \[y=x{{(x-1)}^{2}}\], is

    A) \[0\]                                     

    B) \[\frac{4}{27}\]

    C) \[-4\]                                    

    D)  None of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    We have, the function,                 \[y=x{{(x-1)}^{2}}\]                 \[\frac{dy}{dx}={{(x-1)}^{2}}+2(x-1)x\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\frac{dy}{dx}=3{{x}^{2}}-4x+1\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\frac{dy}{dx}=(x-1)(3x-1)\] Put\[\frac{dy}{dx}=0\], (for maximum and minimum)                 \[(x-1)(3x-1)=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[x=1,\,\,\frac{1}{3}\] Now,     \[\frac{{{d}^{2}}y}{d{{x}^{2}}}=6x-4\]                 \[{{\left[ \frac{{{d}^{2}}y}{d{{x}^{2}}} \right]}_{x=1}}=2>0\]                 \[{{\left[ \frac{{{d}^{2}}y}{d{{x}^{2}}} \right]}_{x=1/3}}=2-4=-2<0\] Thus, the function is maximum at\[x=\frac{1}{3}\] and maximum value of the function                 \[y\left( \frac{1}{3} \right)=\frac{1}{3}{{\left( \frac{1}{3}-1 \right)}^{2}}\]                 \[=\frac{1}{3}\cdot \frac{4}{9}=\frac{4}{27}\]
