Q80.Twenty meters of wire is available for fencing off a flower-bed in the form of a circular sector. Then the maximum area (in sq. m) of the flower-bed, is: (1) 12 . 5 (2) 10 (3) 25 (4) 30

What This Question Tests

This question tests the ability to set up an optimization problem for the area of a circular sector given a fixed perimeter, and then use differentiation to find the maximum area.

Concepts Tested

Area of a circular sectorPerimeter of a circular sectorOptimization using derivativesFinding critical points

Formulas Used

Area of sector A = (1/2)r^2ฮธ

Perimeter P = 2r + rฮธ

dA/dr = 0 for extremum
