A missile is fired from the ground level rises \(x\) meters vertically upwards in \(t \sec\), where \(x=100 t-\frac{25}{2} t^2\). The maximum height reached is

  1. A \(100 \mathrm{~m}\)
  2. B \(300 \mathrm{~m}\)
  3. C \(200 \mathrm{~m}\)
  4. D \(125 \mathrm{~m}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(200 \mathrm{~m}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Hint : \(x=100 t-\frac{25}{2} t^2\) \(\frac{d x}{d t}=100-25 \mathrm{t}\) for maximum and minimum \(\frac{d x}{d t}=0 \Rightarrow t=4 \mathrm{sec}\) \(\frac{d^2 x}{d t^2}=-25 < 0\) \(\therefore\) at \(\mathrm{x}=4\) it will have maixmum height…
