JEE Main 2019 (Online) 9th January Morning Slot Mathematics - Application of Derivatives Question 162 English Explanation

∴\therefore    h = 3 cos θ\theta

r = 3 sin θ\theta

We know volume of right circular cone,

V = 13πr2h{1 \over 3}\pi {r^2}h

= 13π{1 \over 3}\pi (3 sin θ\theta )2 3 cos θ\theta

= 9 π\pi sin2 θ\theta cos θ\theta

For maximum or minimum value of volume,

dvdθ{{dv} \over {d\theta }} = 0

∴\therefore    (2sin θ\theta cos θ\theta ) cos θ\theta + 3sin2 θ\theta .( −- sin θ\theta ) = 0

⇒\Rightarrow   2 sin θ\theta cos2 θ\theta −- sin3 θ\theta = 0

⇒\Rightarrow   2 sin θ\theta (1 −- sin2 θ\theta ) −- sin3 θ\theta = 0

⇒\Rightarrow   2 sin θ\theta −- 2 sin3 θ\theta −- sin3 θ\theta = 0

⇒\Rightarrow   3 sin3 θ\theta = 2 sin θ\theta

⇒\Rightarrow    sin2 θ\theta = 23{2 \over 3}

⇒\Rightarrow   sin θ\theta = 23\sqrt {{2 \over 3}}

d2vdθ2{{{d^2}v} \over {d{\theta ^2}}} = 2cos θ\theta −- 3(3sin θ\theta cos θ\theta )

= 2 cos θ\theta −- 9 sin θ\theta cos θ\theta

= 2 ×\times 13{1 \over {\sqrt 3 }} −- 9 ×\times 23{{\sqrt 2 } \over {\sqrt 3 }} ×\times 13{1 \over {\sqrt 3 }}

= {2 \over {\sqrt 3 }} - 3\sqrt 2 \, < 0

∴\therefore   Volume is maximum

when sin θ\theta = 23\sqrt {{2 \over 3}}

∴\therefore   Maximum volume is

= 9 π\pi (23)2×13{\left( {\sqrt {{2 \over 3}} } \right)^2} \times {1 \over {\sqrt 3 }}

= 9 π\pi ×\times 23×13{2 \over 3} \times {1 \over {\sqrt 3 }}

= 23 π2\sqrt 3 \,\pi
