The cost and revenue functions of a product are given by \(c(x)=20 x+4000\) and \(R(x)=60 x+2000\) respectively, where \(x\) is the number of items produced and sold. The value of \(x\) to earn profit is

  1. A \(>50\)
  2. B \(>60\)
  3. C \(>80\)
  4. D \(>40\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(>50\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, \(C(x)=20 x+4000\)
\(\begin{aligned}
&R(x)=60 x+2000 \\
&x=\text { number of items produced and sold } \\
&\text { To earn profit, } R(x)-C(x)>0 \\
&\Rightarrow \quad 60 x+2000-20 x-4000>0 \\
&\Rightarrow \quad 40 x-2000>0 \\
&\Rightarrow \quad 40 x>2000 \\
&\Rightarrow \quad x>50
\end{aligned}\)
