List-I

List-II

(A) Marginal average cost if cost function $C(x) =\frac{50}{\sqrt{x}}$

(I) $50\sqrt{x}$

(B) Marginal average cost if cost function $C(x) = 50\sqrt{x}$

(II) $-\frac{75}{x^2\sqrt{x}}$

(C) Revenue function if demand function $P=\frac{50}{\sqrt{x}}$

(III) $-\frac{25}{x\sqrt{x}}$

(D) Marginal revenue if demand function $P=50\sqrt{x}$

(IV) $75\sqrt{x}$

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Options:

(A)-(I), (B)-(IV), (C)-(II), (D)-(III)

(A)-(III), (B)-(II), (C)-(I), (D)-(IV)

(A)-(II), (B)-(III), (C)-(I), (D)-(IV)

(A)-(IV), (B)-(I), (C)-(II), (D)-(III)

Correct Answer:

(A)-(II), (B)-(III), (C)-(I), (D)-(IV)

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → (A)-(II), (B)-(III), (C)-(I), (D)-(IV)

List-I

List-II

(A) Marginal average cost if cost function $C(x) =\frac{50}{\sqrt{x}}$

(II) $-\frac{75}{x^2\sqrt{x}}$

(B) Marginal average cost if cost function $C(x) = 50\sqrt{x}$

(III) $-\frac{25}{x\sqrt{x}}$

(C) Revenue function if demand function $P=\frac{50}{\sqrt{x}}$

(I) $50\sqrt{x}$

(D) Marginal revenue if demand function $P=50\sqrt{x}$

(IV) $75\sqrt{x}$

(A) Marginal average cost if $C(x)=\frac{50}{\sqrt{x}}$

Average cost = $\frac{C(x)}{x}=\frac{50}{x\sqrt{x}}=\frac{50}{x^{3/2}}$

Marginal average cost = derivative:

$\frac{d}{dx}\left(\frac{50}{x^{3/2}}\right)= -\frac{75}{x^{5/2}}$

Matches (II) $\; -\frac{75}{x^2\sqrt{x}}$

(B) Marginal average cost if $C(x)=50\sqrt{x}$

Average cost = $\frac{50\sqrt{x}}{x}=\frac{50}{\sqrt{x}}$

Marginal average cost = derivative:

$\frac{d}{dx}\left(\frac{50}{\sqrt{x}}\right)= -\frac{25}{x^{3/2}}$

Matches (III) $\; -\frac{25}{x\sqrt{x}}$

(C) Revenue when $P=\frac{50}{\sqrt{x}}$

$R(x)=xP=x\cdot\frac{50}{\sqrt{x}}=50\sqrt{x}$

Matches (I) $50\sqrt{x}$

(D) Marginal revenue when $P=50\sqrt{x}$

$R(x)=x\cdot 50\sqrt{x}=50x^{3/2}$

$R'(x)=75\sqrt{x}$

Matches (IV) $75\sqrt{x}$

The correct matching is: A–II, B–III, C–I, D–IV.
