If the tangent at $(1,1)$ on $y^2=x(2-x)^2$ meets the curve again at $P$, then $P$ is
  • A
    $(4, 4)$
  • B
    $(-1, 2)$
  • C
    $(3, 6)$
  • $\left(\frac{9}{4}, \frac{3}{8}\right)$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$\left(\frac{9}{4}, \frac{3}{8}\right)$
$\left(\frac{9}{4}, \frac{3}{8}\right)$
Hint: $y^2=x(2-x)^2$
$=x\left(4-4 x+x^2\right)$
$=x^3-4 x^2+4 x $
$ \therefore 2 y \frac{d y}{d x}=3 x^2-8 x+4$
$\therefore \frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{3 x^2-8 x+4}{2 y}$
$\therefore\left(\frac{d y}{d x}\right)_{\text {at }(1,1)}=\frac{3(1)^2-8(1)+4}{2(1)}=-\frac{1}{2}$
= slope of the tangent at $(1, 1)$ ∴ equation of the tangent at $(1, 1)$ is
$y-1=-\frac{1}{2}(x-1) $
$ \therefore 2 y-2=-x+1 $
$ \therefore x+2 y=3$
Only the coordinates $\left(\frac{9}{4}, \frac{3}{8}\right)$ satisfy both the equations $y^2=x(2-x)^2$ and $x+2 y=3$
$\therefore P$ is $\left(\frac{9}{4}, \frac{3}{8}\right)$

The normal to the curve $x^2+2 x y-3 y^2=0$ at $(1,1)$
  • A
    meets the curve again in the second quadrant
  • B
    does not meet the curve again
  • C
    meets the curve again in the third quadrant
  • meets the curve again in the fourth quadrant
Answer
Correct option: D.
meets the curve again in the fourth quadrant
meets the curve again in the fourth quadrant
Hint:
$x^2+2 x y-3 y^2=0$
$\therefore 2 x+2\left(x \frac{d y}{d x}+y \times 1\right)-3 \times 2 y \frac{d y}{d x}=0 $
$ \therefore(2 x-6 y) \frac{d y}{d x}=-2 x-2 y$
$\therefore \frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{-(x+y)}{x-3 y}$
$ \therefore\left(\frac{d y}{d x}\right)_{\text {at }(1,1)}=\frac{-(1+1)}{1-3}=1$
$=$ slope of the tangent at $(1, 1)$
$∴$ equation of the tangent at $(1, 1)$ is $-1$
$∴$ equation of the normal is $y – 1= -1 (x – 1) = -x + 1$
$∴ x + y = 2$
$∴ y = 2 – x$
Substituting $y=2-x$ in $x^2+2 x y-3 y^2=0$, we get
$x^2+2 x(2-x)-3(2-x)^2=0$
$\Rightarrow x^2+4 x-2 x^2-3\left(4-4 x+x^2\right)=0 $
$\Rightarrow x^2-4 x+3=0$
$⇒ (x – 1)(x – 3) = 0$
$⇒ x = 1, x = 3$
When $x = 1, y = 2 – 1 = 1$
When $x = 3, y = 2 – 3 = -1$
$∴$ the normal at $(1, 1)$ meets the curve at $(3, -1)$ which is in the fourth quadrant.

Answer
Correct option: C.
$\alpha=2, \beta=\frac{-1}{2}$
$\alpha=2, \beta=\frac{-1}{2}$

Hint: $y=\alpha \log x+\beta x^2+x$

$\therefore \frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{\alpha}{x}+\beta \times 2 x+1=\frac{\alpha}{x}+2 \beta x+1$

f(x) has extreme values at x = -1 and x = 2 ∴ f'(-1) = 0 and f(2) = 0 α + 2β = 1

and $\frac{\alpha}{2}+4 \beta=-1$

By solving these two equations, we get

$\alpha=2, \beta=\frac{-1}{2}$

  • $(4,11)$
  • B
    $(4,-11)$
  • C
    $(-4,11)$
  • D
    $(-4,-11)$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$(4,11)$
Given curve is $6 y=x^3+2...(i)$
and $\frac{d y}{d t}=8\left(\frac{d x}{d t}\right)...(ii)$
Differentiate $(i) \text{w.r.t.} \ 't\ ',$ we get
$6 \frac{d y}{d t}=3 x^2\left(\frac{d x}{d t}\right)$
$\Rightarrow 6\left(8 \frac{d x}{d t}\right)$
$=3 x^2\left(\frac{d x}{d t}\right) [$from $(ii)]$
$\Rightarrow 48 \frac{d x}{d t}=3 x^2 \frac{d x}{d t}$
$\Rightarrow 3 x^2=48 $
$\Rightarrow x^2=16 $
$\Rightarrow x= \pm 4$
Put value of $x$ in $(i),$ we obtain
When $x=4,6 y=(4)^3+2=66 $
$\Rightarrow y=11$
When $x=-4,6 y=(-4)^3+2$
$=-64+2=-62$
$\Rightarrow y=-\frac{31}{3}$
$\therefore$ Required point on the curve is $(4,11)$.

MCQ 132 Marks
A spherical balloon is filled with $4500 \pi$ cubic metres of helium gas. If a leak in the balloon causes the gas to escape at the rate of $72 \pi$ cubic metres per minute, then the rate (in metres per minute) at which the radius of the balloon decreases 49 minutes after the leakage began is
  • A
    $2 / 9$
  • B
    $9 / 2$
  • C
  • D
    $7 / 9$
Answer

$
\begin{aligned}
& \text {(a) : } \frac{d v}{d t}=-72 \pi m ^3 / min , v_0=4500 \pi \\
& v=\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 \therefore \frac{d v}{d t}=\frac{4}{3} \pi \times 3 r^2 \times \frac{d r}{d t}
\end{aligned}
$
After $49 \min , v=v_0+49 \cdot \frac{d v}{d t}=4500 \pi-49 \times 72 \pi$ $=4500 \pi-3528 \pi=972 \pi$
$\Rightarrow \quad 972 \pi=\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 \Rightarrow r^3=243 \times 3=3^6 \Rightarrow r=9$
$\therefore-72 \pi=4 \pi \times 81 \times \frac{d r}{d t} \Rightarrow \frac{d r}{d t}=-\frac{18}{81}=-\frac{2}{9}$
Thus, radius decreases at a rate of $\frac{2}{9} m / min$

Answer
Correct option: C.
2
(c) : We have, $x=2 \cos t+2 t \sin t$
$\Rightarrow \frac{d x}{d t}=-2 \sin t+2 \sin t+2 t \cos t=2 t \cos t$
and $y=2 \sin t-2 t \cos t$
$\Rightarrow \frac{d y}{d t}=2 \cos t-2 \cos t+2 t \sin t=2 t \sin t$
Now, $\frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{d y / d t}{d x / d t}=\frac{2 t \sin t}{2 t \cos t}=\tan t$
$\Rightarrow \frac{-d x}{d y}=-\cot$
So, equation of normal is given as
$\begin{aligned}
& y-(2 \sin t-2 t \cos t)=-\cot t(x-2 \cos t-2 t \sin t) \\
\Rightarrow & y \sin t-2 \sin ^2 t+2 t \sin t \cos t \\
& =-x \cos t+2 \cos ^2 t+2 t \sin t \cos t \\
\Rightarrow & x \cos t+y \sin t=2
\end{aligned}
$
Now, distance of normal from origin is given as
$
d=\left|\frac{0-0-2}{\sqrt{\cos ^2 t+\sin ^2 t}}\right|=2 \text { units }

Let $f(x)=5-|x-2|$ and $g(x)=|x+1|, x \in R$ If $f(x)$ attains maximum value at $\alpha$ and $g(x)$ attains minimum value at $\beta$, then $\lim _{x \rightarrow-\alpha \beta} \frac{(x-1)\left(x^2-5 x+6\right)}{x^2-6 x+8}$ is equal to
  • $\frac{1}{2}$
  • B
    $\frac{-3}{2}$
  • C
    $\frac{-1}{2}$
  • D
    $\frac{3}{2}$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$\frac{1}{2}$
(a) : $f(x)=5-|x-2|, g(x)=|x+1|, x \in R$
$f(x)$ attains maximum value, when $|x-2|=0$
i.e., at $x-2=0$ i.e., at $x=2=\alpha$
Now, $g(x)$ attains minimum value when $|x+1|=0$ i.e.,
at $x=-1=\beta$
So, $\alpha \beta=2 \times(-1)$ $=-2 \Rightarrow-\alpha \beta=2$
$\therefore \operatorname{Lim}_{x \rightarrow-\alpha \beta} \frac{(x-1)\left(x^2-5 x+6\right)}{x^2-6 x+8}=\operatorname{Lim}_{x \rightarrow 2} \frac{(x-1)(x-2)(x-3)}{(x-2)(x-4)}$

The approximate value of $\log _{10} 998$ is $($given that $\left.\log _{10} e=0.4343\right)$
  • A
    $3.0008686$
  • B
    $1.9991314$
  • C
    $2.0008686$
  • $2.9991314$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$2.9991314$
Let $f(x)=\log _{10} x=\frac{\log _e x}{\log _e 10}$
$=\log _{10} e \log _e x=(0.4343) \log x$
$\Rightarrow f^{\prime}(x)=\frac{0.4343}{x}$
Now $,  x=998=1000-2=a-h$
Where $ a=1000$ and $ h=2$
$f(a)=\log _{10}(1000)=\log _{10}(10)^3$
$=3 \log _{10} 10=3$
$f^{\prime}(a)=f^{\prime}(1000)$
$=\frac{0.4343}{1000}=0.0004343$
Now, $f(a-h)=f(a)-h f^{\prime}(a)$
$=3-2(0.0004343)$
$=3-0.0008686=2.9991314$

MCQ 172 Marks
A spherical raindrop evaporates at a rate proportional to its surface area. If originally its radius is $3\ mm$ and $1$ hour later it reduces to $2\ mm$,then the expression for the radius $R$ of the raindrop at any time $t$ is
  • A
    $6 R=t+2$
  • B
    $R(t+2)=6$
  • $ R=-t+3$
  • D
    $6 R=t$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$ R=-t+3$
$($None of the options is correct$)$ :
Let $R$ be the radius, $V$ be the volume and $S$ be the surface area of spherical raindrop at time $t(i).$
$\therefore V=\frac{4}{3} \pi R^3 \text { and } S =4 \pi R^2$
The rate of evaporation of raindrop $=\frac{d V}{d t}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{d V}{d t} \propto S$
$\Rightarrow \frac{d V}{d t}=-k s, k>0 ...(i)$
Also, $\frac{d V}{d t}=\frac{4 \pi}{3} \times 3 R^2 \times \frac{d R}{d t}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{d V}{d t}=4 \pi R^2 \frac{d R}{d t}...(ii)$
From $(i)$ and $(ii),$ we get $-k S=4 \pi R^2 \frac{d R}{d t}$
$\Rightarrow -k\left(4 \pi R^2\right)=\frac{d R}{d t}\left(4 \pi R^2\right)$
$\Rightarrow \frac{d R}{d t}=-k$
$\Rightarrow d R=-k d t$
On integrating, we get
$\Rightarrow \int d R=\int-k d t$
$ \Rightarrow R=-k t+C$
At $t=0, R=3 mm $
$\therefore 3=C$
So, $R=-k t+3$
Also, at $t=1, R=2 mm$
$\Rightarrow 2=-k+3 $
$\Rightarrow-k=-1 $
$\Rightarrow k=1$
$\therefore R=-t+3$

The value of $c$ of Lagrange's mean value theorem for $f(x)=\sqrt{25-x^2}$ on $[1,5]$ is
  • A
    $\sqrt{15}$
  • B
    5
  • C
    $\sqrt{10}$
  • D
    1
Answer

(a) : According to lagrange's mean value theorem for any function $f(x), a<x<b$, there exist $c \in(a, b)$ such that
$
f^{\prime}(c)=\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}
$
Here, $a=1, b=5$ and $f(x)=\sqrt{25-x^2}$
$
\therefore f(5)=\sqrt{25-25=0}
$
And $f(1)=\sqrt{25-1}=\sqrt{24}=2 \sqrt{6}$
$
\begin{aligned}
& \therefore f^{\prime}(c)=\frac{0-2 \sqrt{6}}{5-1}, c \in(1,5)=\frac{-2 \sqrt{6}}{4} \\
& \Rightarrow f^{\prime}(c)=-\frac{\sqrt{6}}{2} ...(i)
\end{aligned}
$
Now, $f(x)=\sqrt{25-x^2}$
$
\Rightarrow f^{\prime}(x)=\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{25-x^2}}(-2 x)=\frac{-x}{\sqrt{25-x^2}}
$
$
\Rightarrow f^{\prime}(c)=\frac{-c}{\sqrt{25-c^2}} ...(ii)
$
On equating (i) and (ii), we get
$
\begin{aligned}
& \frac{-c}{\sqrt{25-c^2}}=\frac{-\sqrt{6}}{2} \\
& \Rightarrow 2 c=\sqrt{150-6 c^2} \\
& \Rightarrow 4 c^2=150-6 c^2 \Rightarrow 10 c^2=150 \\
& \Rightarrow c^2=15 \Rightarrow c= \pm \sqrt{15}
\end{aligned}
$
Since, $c \in(1,5)$, So, $c=\sqrt{15}$

  • A
    $20 \sqrt{2} cm ^2 / \sec$
  • $10 \sqrt{2} cm ^2 / \sec$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{10 \sqrt{2}} cm ^2 / \sec$
  • D
    $\frac{10}{\sqrt{2}} \ cm ^2 / \sec$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$10 \sqrt{2} cm ^2 / \sec$
Let the side of the square be  $'x\ '$  and its diagonal be $y$.
Rate of change of diagonal is given $0.5 \ cm / \sec$.
$\therefore \frac{d y}{d t}=0.5$
By applying pythagoras theorem, we get
$y^2=x^2+x^2$
$\Rightarrow y=\sqrt{2 x^2}$
$\Rightarrow y=\sqrt{2} x \text { or } x=\frac{y}{\sqrt{2}}$
Now, area of square $=x^2=\left(\frac{y}{\sqrt{2}}\right)^2=\frac{y^2}{2}$
Since, area of square is given $400 \ cm ^2$
$\Rightarrow \frac{y^2}{2}=400$
$ \Rightarrow y^2=800 $
$\Rightarrow y=20 \sqrt{2} \ cm$
Now, rate of change of area is given by
$\frac{d A}{d t}=\frac{d}{d t}\left(\frac{y^2}{2}\right)$
$=\frac{1}{2} \times 2 y \times \frac{d y}{d t}$
$=20 \sqrt{2} \times 0.5$
$=10 \sqrt{2} \ cm ^2 / \sec$

Given, $f(x)=\vec{a} \cdot(\vec{b} \times \vec{c})=\left|\begin{array}{ccc}x & -2 & 3 \\ -2 & x & -1 \\ 7 & -2 & x\end{array}\right|$
$=x\left(x^2-2\right)+2(-2 x+7)+3(4-7 x)$
$=x^3-2 x-4 x+14+12-21 x$
$=x^3-27 x+26$
$\Rightarrow f^{\prime}(x)=3 x^2-27$
For critical point, we must have $f^{\prime}(x)=0$
$\Rightarrow 3\left(x^2-9\right)=0 $
$\Rightarrow x= \pm 3$
Now, $f^{\prime \prime}(x)=6 x f^{\prime \prime}(3)=18>0$
$\therefore x=3$ is the point of local minima.

Let $A \equiv(a, 2 a)$
$\therefore$ Equation of line $B C$ is given by $\frac{x}{4}+\frac{y}{3}=1$
Perpendicular distance from point $(a, 2 a) \frac{\frac{a}{4}+\frac{2 a}{3}-1}{\sqrt{\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^2+\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^2}}$
$=\frac{\frac{3 a+8 a-1}{12}}{\sqrt{\frac{9+16}{144}}}$
$=\frac{3 a+8 a-12}{5}=\frac{11 a-12}{5}$
Also, $B C=\sqrt{O C^2+O B^2}=\sqrt{4^2+3^2}=5$ units
Area, $A=\frac{1}{2} \times B C \times \frac{11 a-12}{5}$
$=\frac{1}{2} \times 5 \times \frac{11 a-12}{5}=\frac{11 a-12}{2}$
Distance of point $A$ from origin $=\sqrt{(a)^2+(2 a)^2}=\sqrt{5} a$
According to question, $\frac{d(\sqrt{5} a)}{d t}=2$
$\Rightarrow \sqrt{5} \frac{d a}{d t}=2 $
$\Rightarrow \frac{d a}{d t}=\frac{2}{\sqrt{5}}$
$\therefore \frac{d A}{d t}=\frac{d\left(\frac{11 a-12}{2}\right)}{d t}$
$=\frac{1}{2} \times 11 \times \frac{d a}{d t}$
$=\frac{1}{2} \times 11 \times \frac{2}{\sqrt{5}}$
$=\frac{11}{\sqrt{5}}\left(\text{units}^2 / \sec) \right. $

Let $f(x)=\int \frac{x^2-3 x+2}{x^4+1} d x$, then function decreases in the interval
Answer
Correct option: C.
(c) : $f(x)=\int \frac{x^2-3 x+2}{x^4+1} d x$
$f(x)=\int \frac{(x-2)(x-1)}{x^4+1} d x$, then $f^{\prime}(x)=\frac{(x-2)(x-1)}{x^4+1}$
For critical points, $f^{\prime}(x)=0$
$
\Rightarrow(x-2)(x-1)=0 \quad\left[\because x^4+1>0 \forall x \in R \right]$
$\Rightarrow x=2,1$ are critical points.
So, $f^{\prime \prime}(x)=\frac{(2 x-3)\left(x^4+1\right)-4 x^3\left(x^2-3 x+2\right)}{\left(x^4+1\right)^2}$
$f^{\prime \prime}(1)=\frac{-2-4 \times 0}{2^2}=\frac{-1}{2}<0$
$\Rightarrow x=1$ is the point of local maxima.
$f^{\prime \prime}(2)=\frac{17-32 \times 0}{(17)^2}=\frac{1}{17}>0$
$\Rightarrow x=2$ is the point of local minima.
$\therefore f(x)$ is decreasing in $(1,2)$

  • A
    $(-6,-2)$
  • B
    $(2,6)$
  • $[-6,-2) \cup(2,6]$
  • D

Answer
Correct option: C.
$[-6,-2) \cup(2,6]$
$f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{ll}x^3-x^2+10 x-7, & x \leq 1 \\ -2 x+\log _2\left(b^2-4\right), & x>1\end{array}\right.$
Since $f(x)$ has maximum value at $x=1$, therefore
$\text{L.H.L.} \geq \text{R.H.L.}$ at $x=1$
$\Rightarrow \lim _{x \rightarrow 1}\left(x^3-x^2+10 x-7\right) \geq \lim _{x \rightarrow 1}\left[-2 x+\log _2\left(b^2-4\right)\right]$
$\Rightarrow 3 \geq-2+\log _2\left(b^2-4\right) $
$\Rightarrow 2^5 \geq b^2-4$
$\Rightarrow b^2 \leq 36 $
$\Rightarrow(b-6)(b+6) \leq 0 $
$\Rightarrow b \in[-6,6]$
$\text { but } b^2-4 \neq 0 $
$\Rightarrow b \neq \pm 2 $

The function $f(x)=x \sqrt{1-x},$ where $x \in(0,1)$ has local maximum at $x=$
  • $\frac{2}{3}$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{4}$
  • C
    $\frac{3}{4}$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{3}$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$\frac{2}{3}$
Given $,f(x)=x \sqrt{1-x}$
$f^{\prime}(x)=x \cdot \frac{-1}{2 \cdot \sqrt{1-x}}+\sqrt{1-x}$
$=\frac{-x+2(1-x)}{2 \sqrt{1-x}}$
$=\frac{2-3 x}{2 \sqrt{1-x}}$
Put $f^{\prime}(x)=0$ so, $x=\frac{2}{3}$ is the critical point
Now, $f^{\prime \prime}(x)=\frac{2 \sqrt{1-x}(-3)-(2-3 x) \cdot 2 \cdot \frac{(-1) \cdot 2}{\sqrt{1-x}}}{4(1-x)}$
$=\frac{-6(1-x)+(2-3 x)}{4(1-x)^{3 / 2}}$
$=\frac{-4+3 x}{4(1-x)^{3 / 2}}$
Now at $x=\frac{2}{3} f^{\prime \prime}(x)=- ve$
Hence, at $x=\frac{2}{3} f(x)$ has local maximum.

The function $f(x)$ is defined by $f(x)=(x+2) e^{-x}$ is
Answer
(d) : Given, $f(x)=(x+2) e^{-x}$
$f^{\prime}(x)=-(x+2) e^{-x}+e^{-x}=-e^{-x}(x+1)$
For increasing function, $-e^{-x}(x+1)>0$
i.e., $e^{-x}(x+1)<0$
Since, $e^{-x}>0$, therefore $(x+1)<0$
$\Rightarrow x \in(-\infty,-1)$
$\therefore$ For $x \in(-\infty,-1)$, function is increasing.
Now, for decreasing function, $-e^{-x}(x+1)<0$
i.e. $e^{-x}(x+1)>0 \Rightarrow x \in(-1, \infty)$
$\therefore$ For $x \in(-1, \infty)$, function is decreasing.

A circular sector of perimeter $60$ meter with maximum area is to be constructed. The radius of the circular arc in meter must be
  • A
    $10 m$
  • $15 m$
  • C
    $5 m$
  • D
    $20 m$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$15 m$
Let $O A B$ be the circular sector.
Perimeter of $O A B=60 m$
$\therefore \frac{\theta}{360} \times 2 \pi r+2 r=60$
$\Rightarrow \frac{\theta}{360}=\frac{60-2 r}{2 \pi r} ...(i)$
We need maximum area, and we know that area of a sector $(A)=\frac{\theta}{360} \times \pi r^2$
i.e., $A=\frac{60-2 r}{2 \pi r} \times \pi r^2 \ ($Using $(i))$
$\Rightarrow A=30 r-r^2$
Differentiating $\text{w.r.t}\ 'r\ '$
$\frac{d A}{d r}=30-2 r$
For critical point, we have $\frac{d A}{d r}=0$
$\Rightarrow 30-2 r=0 $
$\Rightarrow r=\frac{30}{2}=15 m$
Now, $\frac{d^2 A}{d r^2}=-2<0$
$\therefore r=15 m$ gives the maximum area.

  • $30$
  • C
    $- 3 0$
  • D

Answer
Correct option: B.
$30$
We have $f(x)=3 x^3-9 x^2-27 x+15$
$f^{\prime}(x)=9 x^2-18 x-27$
For maximum or minimum value, $f^{\prime}(x)=0$
$\Rightarrow 9\left(x^2-2 x-3\right)=0$
$\Rightarrow x^2-3 x+x-3=0 $
$\Rightarrow x(x-3)+1(x-3)=0$
$\Rightarrow(x-3)(x+1)=0 $
$\Rightarrow x=3,-1$
Now, $ f^{\prime \prime}(x)=18 x-18$
For $x=-1, f^{\prime \prime}(-1)<0$
$\therefore f(x) $ attains its maximum value at $ x=-1$

$\frac{d P}{d x}=100-12 \sqrt{x}$
Integrating, we have, $d P=(100-12 \sqrt{x}) d x$
$P=100 x-12 \cdot \frac{2}{3} \cdot x^{3 / 2}+\lambda$
$P=100 x-8 x^{3 / 2}+\lambda$
$P(0)=2000=\lambda $
$\therefore \lambda=2000$
$P(25)=100 \times 25-8 \times 25^{3 / 2}+2000=3500 .$

The maximum value of the function $f(x)=3 x^3-18 x^2$ $+27 x-40$ on the set $S=\left\{x \in R / x^2+30 \leq 11 x\right\}$ is
  • 122
  • B
    -122
  • C
    -222
  • D
    222
Answer
Correct option: A.
122
(a) : $S=\left\{x \in R / x^2+30 \leq 11 x\right\}$
i.e., $x^2-11 x+30 \leq 0 \Rightarrow(x-5)(x-6) \leq 0 \Rightarrow$
$x \in[5,6]$
Now, $f(x)=3 x^3-18 x^2+27 x-40$....(i)
Differentiating w.r.t. ' $x$ ' we get
$
f^{\prime}(x)=9 x^2-36 x+27
$
Now $f^{\prime}(x)=9(x-1)(x-3)$, which is positive at $[5,6]$.
$\Rightarrow f(x)$ is increasing in $[5,6]$ i.e., in $S$.
Maximum value of $f$ is at $x=6$ i.e., $f(6)$
$
=648-648+162-40=122 [From (i)]
