Pleases solve the case study.
Answers
Given that,
Speed of the train is v km per hour.
Let assume that fuel cost be Rs x per hour.
Further it is given that, Cost of fuel per hour is directly proportional to square of the speed in km per hour.
Now, given that x = 48 and v = 16, so on substituting the values, we get
So, option (d) is correct.
Now, Further given that Fixed charges to run the train per hour is ₹ 1200
So, Total cost of running the train per hour is
Now, its a cost per hour to travel v km.
So, cost to travel per km is
Now,
On substituting the value of k, we get
So, option b is correct.
Now, we have
On differentiating both sides w. r. t. v, we get
For maxima or minima,
So, option (c) is correct
Now, the fuel cost to travel 500 km for the most economical speed is
So, option (c) is correct.
Now, Total cost of the train to travel 500 km with most economical speed is
So, option (d) is correct.

Question:-
CASE STUDY
The fuel cost per hour for running a train is proportional to the square of the speed it generates in km per hour. If the fuel costs ₹48 per hour at speed 16km per hour and the fixed charges to run the train amount to ₹1,200 per hour. Assume the speed of the train as v km/h.
Based on the given information, answer the following questions.
46. Given that the fuel cost per hour is k times the square of the speed the train generates in km/h, the value of k is:
Options:
(a) 16/3. b) 1/3. c) 3. b) 3/16.

47. If the train has travelled a distance of 500km, then the total cost of running the train is given by function:
Options:
(a) 15/16 v + 6,00,000/v. (b) 375/4 v + 6,00,000/v.
(c) 5/16 v² + 1,50,000/v (d) 3/16 v + 6,000/v.

48. The most economical speed to run the train is:
Options:
(a) 18km/h. (b) 5km/h. (c) 80km/h. (d) 40km/h.

49. The fuel cost for the train to travel 500km at the most Economical speed is:
Options:
(a) ₹3,750. (b) ₹750. (c) ₹7,500. (d) ₹75,000.

50. The total cost of the train to travel 500km at the most Economical speed is:
Options:
(a) ₹3,750. (b) 75,000. (c) ₹7,500. (d) ₹ 15,000.
_________________________________________
Given:-
- Speed of the train is v km/h.
Solution:-
46. Fuel cost = k (speed)²
⇒ 48 = k . 16²
