Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \((15,5)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

According to question, \(x+y=20 \quad \text{...(i)}\) and \(\quad p=x y^{3}=(20-y) y^{3} \quad\) [by Eq. (i)] \(p=20 y^{3}-y^{4}\) \(\Rightarrow \quad \frac{d p}{d y}=60 y^{2}-4 y^{3}\) \(\Rightarrow \quad \frac{d^{2} p}{d y^{2}}=120 y-12 y^{2}\) Now,…
