36. LED bulbs are energy-efficient because they use significantly less electricity than
traditional bulbs while producing the same amount of light. They convert more
energy into light rather than heat, reducing waste. Additionally, their long lifespan
means fewer replacements, saving resources and money over time. A company
manufactures a new type of energy-efficient LED bulb. The cost of production and
the revenue generated by selling x bulbs (in an hour) are modelled as
2 2
C ( ) = 0.5 − 10 + 150 and R ( ) = − 0.3 + 20 respectively, where C ( ) and
R ( ) are both in ₹.

To maximize the profit, the company needs to analyze these functions using
calculus. Use the given models to answer the following questions:
I) Derive the profit function P ( )
II) Find the critical points of P ( )
III) A) Determine whether the critical points correspond to a maximum or a
minimum profit by using the second derivative test.
OR
III) B) Identify the possible practical value of (i.e., the number of bulbs that
can realistically be produced and sold) that can maximize the profit, if
the resources available and the expenditure on machines allows to
produce minimum 10 but not more than 18 bulbs per hour. Also
calculate the maximum profit

 37. Rashmi wants to prepare a handmade gift box for her friend's birthday at home.
For making the lower part of box, she takes a square piece of cardboard of side 20
cm.

Based on the above information, answer the following questions.

a) If x cm be the length of each side of the square cardboard which is to be cut

off from corners of the square piece of side 20 cm, then possible value of x
will be given by the interval
i) (0, 20) ii) (0, 10)
iii) (0, 3) iv) None of these
b) Volume of the open box formed by folding up the cutting corner can be
expressed as
i) V = x (20 - 2x) (20 – 2x) ii) V = (20 + x) (20 - x)

iii) V = (20 - 2x) (20 + 2x) iv) V = x (20 – 2x) (20 - x)

c) The values of x for which = 0, are

maximum?
i) 12 cm ii) 8 cm
iii) 10/3 cm iv) 2cm
