Question 1 Explanation:
$ \displaystyle \begin{array}{l}Equating\,\,\,\,2+{{x}^{2}}=6-3x\\\Rightarrow \,\,\,{{x}^{2}}+3x-4=0\Rightarrow {{x}^{2}}+4x-x-4=0\\or\,\,\,\left( x+4 \right)\,\left( x-1 \right)=0\\\Rightarrow \,x=-4\,\,\,or\,\,\,1\\But\,\,\,x>0\,\,\,so\,\,\,x=1,\,\,\,so\,\,\,LHS=RHS=2+1=3\end{array}$
Therefore we can conclude that the largest value of the function when x>0 occurs at x=1.
The value of y for x=1 is 3. Therefore option (c).

The following functions have been defined:
$ \displaystyle \begin{array}{l}la\,\,\left( x,y,z \right)\,=\min \,\left( x+y,y+z \right)\\le\,\,\left( x,y,z \right)\,=\max \,\left( x-y,y-z \right)\\ma\,\,\left( x,y,z \right)\,=\left( 1/2 \right)\,\left[ le\,\left( x,y,z \right)+la\,\left( x,y,z \right) \right]\end{array}$

$ \displaystyle ma\,\left( x,y,z \right)<\,le\,\left( x,y,z \right)$ | |
None of these |
Question 4 Explanation:
Taking values as x= 40, y =30, z=2.
la(x,y,z)= min (70,32) =32
le(x,y,z)=max (10,28)=28
ma(x,y,z)=1/2[32+28]=1/2[60]=30
Options (a) and (c) can be easily eliminated by taking random value of x and y (close and very much larger than z).
Taking values as x= 100, y =2, z=1.
la(x,y,z)= min (102,3) =3
le(x,y,z)=max (98,1)=98
ma(x,y,z)=1/2[3+98]=1/2[101]=55.5
Here when we take a >> b>c we find that
ma(x,y,z) > la(x,y,z)= min (102,3) =3
la(x,y,z)= min (70,32) =32
le(x,y,z)=max (10,28)=28
ma(x,y,z)=1/2[32+28]=1/2[60]=30

Question 5 Explanation:
=$\displaystyle ma\,\left( 10,\,4,\,le\,(\,\min \,\left( 15,8 \right),5,3) \right)$
= ma (10,4, max (8-5,5-3))
= ma (10,4, max (3,2))
= ma (10,4,3)
=1/2 [{la (10,4,3)}+(le (10,4,3)}]
=1/2 [{min (14,7)}+(max(6,1)}]
=1/2 [7+6]
=6.5
= ma (10,4, max (8-5,5-3))
= ma (10,4, max (3,2))
= ma (10,4,3)
=1/2 [{la (10,4,3)}+(le (10,4,3)}]
=1/2 [{min (14,7)}+(max(6,1)}]
=1/2 [7+6]
=6.5
