The demand for a certain product is represented by the function $p = 300 +25x-x^2$ (in rupees), where $x$ is the number of units demanded and $p$ is the price per unit, then the marginal revenue when 15 units are sold,is |
₹675 ₹375 ₹1050 ₹3775 |
₹375 |
The correct answer is Option (2) → ₹375 ** The price function is $p = 300 + 25x - x^{2}$. Revenue: $R = px = x(300 + 25x - x^{2})$ $R = 300x + 25x^{2} - x^{3}$ Marginal revenue: $R' = \frac{dR}{dx} = 300 + 50x - 3x^{2}$ At $x = 15$: $R'(15) = 300 + 50(15) - 3(15^{2})$ $= 300 + 750 - 3(225)$ $= 1050 - 675$ $= 375$ The marginal revenue when 15 units are sold is ₹375. |
