If under pure competition demand and supply functions are given by \(p=\sqrt{10-x}\) and \(p=\frac{1}{2}(x-2)\) respectively, where \(p\) is price per unit and \(x\) is quantity, then the consumer surplus is :

  1. A \(\frac{2}{3}[11-10 \sqrt{10}]\)
  2. B \(\frac{10}{3}[1-2 \sqrt{10}]\)
  3. C \(\frac{2}{3}[10 \sqrt{10}-26]\)
  4. D \(\frac{2}{3}[11+10 \sqrt{10}]\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{2}{3}[10 \sqrt{10}-26]\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\sqrt{10-x} = \frac{1}{2}(x-2)\) \(10-x = \frac{1}{4}(x-2)^2\) \(40-4x = x^2-4x+4\) \(x^2 = 36 \implies x_0=6\) \(p_0 = \sqrt{10-6} = 2\) \(CS = \int_{0}^{6} \sqrt{10-x} dx - (2)(6)\) \(CS = \left[ -\frac{2}{3}(10-x)^{3/2} \right]_{0}^{6} - 12\)…
