Let costC=av+vb According to given question, 30a+30b=7540a+40b=65 On solving (i) and (ii), we get a=21 and b=1800 Now, C=av+vb ⇒dvdC=a−v2bdvdC=0⇒a−v2b=0⇒v=ab=3600⇒v=60kmph
The cost of running a bus from A to B, is ₹ (a v+ b v ), where v ~km / h is the average speed of the bus. When the bus travels at 30 ~km / h, the…
