    Maximum value of\[px+qy,\]when\[xy={{r}^{2}},\]is

    A)  \[2r\sqrt{pq}\]

    B)  \[2pq\sqrt{r}\]

    C)  \[-2r\sqrt{pq}\]

    D)  None of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     Let\[z=px+qy\]and given\[xy={{r}^{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[y=\frac{{{r}^{2}}}{x}\] \[\therefore \] \[z=px+q\frac{{{r}^{2}}}{x}\] \[\frac{dz}{dx}=p-\frac{q{{r}^{2}}}{{{x}^{2}}}\] For maxima and minima, \[\frac{dz}{dx}=0\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[p-\frac{q{{r}^{2}}}{{{x}^{2}}}=0\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[p{{x}^{2}}=q{{r}^{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[x=\sqrt{\frac{q{{r}^{2}}}{p}}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[x=\sqrt{\frac{q}{p}}.r\] \[\therefore \]At \[x=\sqrt{\frac{p}{q}}.r,\frac{{{d}^{2}}z}{d{{x}^{2}}}>0\,z\]is minimum \[\therefore \] \[{{z}_{\min }}=p\sqrt{\frac{p}{q}}.r+\frac{q{{r}^{2}}}{r}.\sqrt{\frac{p}{q}}\] \[=\frac{pqr+qrp}{\sqrt{pq}}=2r\sqrt{pq}\]
