Consider a cuboid of sides 2x, 4x and 5x and a closed hemisphere of radius r. If the sum of their surface areas is a constant k, then the ratio x : r, for which the sum of their volumes is maximum, is :
- A2 : 5
- B19 : 45
- C3 : 8
- D19 : 15
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B
- Surface area constraint
For the cuboid with sides :
For a closed hemisphere of radius , total surface area is:
Given their sum is constant :
- Volume expression
Volume of the cuboid:
Volume of the hemisphere:
So total volume is:
We must maximize subject to constraint (1).
- Use Lagrange multiplier / differentiation under constraint
Let
Then, Since ,
Also, Since ,
Substitute :
Hence,
- Check with options
Thus the required ratio is: So the correct option is B.
- Comparison with stored answer
Stored correct answer = B
Our derived answer = B
Hence, they agree.
