Step-by-Step Verified Solution

∵\because s1+s2=k{s_1} + {s_2} = k

76x2+3πr2=k76{x^2} + 3\pi {r^2} = k

∴\therefore 152xdxdr+6πr=0152x{{dx} \over {dr}} + 6\pi r = 0

∴\therefore dxdr=−6πr152x{{dx} \over {dr}} = {{ - 6\pi r} \over {152x}}

Now V=40x3+23πr3V = 40{x^3} + {2 \over 3}\pi {r^3}

∴\therefore dvdr=120x2 . dxdr+2πr2=0{{dv} \over {dr}} = 120{x^2}\,.\,{{dx} \over {dr}} + 2\pi {r^2} = 0

⇒120x2 . (−6π152rx)+2πr2=0\Rightarrow 120{x^2}\,.\,\left( {{{ - 6\pi } \over {152}}{r \over x}} \right) + 2\pi {r^2} = 0

⇒120(xr)=2π(1526π)\Rightarrow 120\left( {{x \over r}} \right) = 2\pi \left( {{{152} \over {6\pi }}} \right)

⇒(xr)=15231120=1945\Rightarrow \left( {{x \over r}} \right) = {{152} \over 3}{1 \over {120}} = {{19} \over {45}}
