Differential Equations 3 Question 5

5.

At present, a firm is manufacturing 2000 items. It is estimated that the rate of change of production P with respect to additional number of workers x is given by dPdx=10012x. If the firm employees 25 more workers, then the new level of production of items is

(2013 Main)

(a) 2500

(b) 3000

(c) 3500

(d) 4500

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 5. (c)

Solution:

  1. Given, dPdx=(10012x)dP=(10012x)dx

On integrating both sides, we get

dP=(10012x)dxP=100x8x3/2+C

When x=0, then P=2000C=2000

Now, when x=25, then is

P=100×258×(25)3/2+2000=25008×125+2000=45001000=3500
