Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 12,8

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let the numbers be \(x, y\). \(\therefore \quad x+y=20 \Rightarrow y=20-x\) Let \(S=x^3(20-x)^2\) On differentiating w.r.t \(x\), we get \(\frac{d S}{d x}=2 x^3(20-x)(-1)+3 x^2(20-x)^2\) For maximum or minimum, put \(\frac{d S}{d x}=0\)…
