Let a rectangle \(A B C D\) of sides \(2\) and \(4\) be inscribed in another rectangle \(P Q R S\) such that the vertices of the rectangle \(A B C D\) lie on the sides of the rectangle \(P Q R S\). Let \(a\) and \(b\) be the sides of the rectangle \(P Q R S\) when its area is maximum. Then \((a+b)^2\) is equal to :

  1. A \(72\)
  2. B \(60\)
  3. C \(80\)
  4. D \(64\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(72\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \text { Area }=(4 \cos \theta+2 \sin \theta)(2 \cos \theta+4 \sin \theta) \) \( =8 \cos ^2 \theta+16 \sin \theta \cos \theta+4 \sin \theta \cos \theta+8 \sin ^2 \theta \) \( =8+20 \sin \theta \cos \theta \) \( =8+10 \sin 2 \theta \)…
