In manufacturing industries, the loss is usually taken to be proportional to the square of the deviation from a target. If the loss is Rs. 4900 for a deviation of 7 units, what would be the loss in Rupees for a deviation of 4 units from the target?
In manufacturing industries, the loss is usually taken to be proportional to the square of the deviation from a target. If the loss is Rs. 4900 for a deviation of 7 units, what would be the loss in Rupees for a deviation of 4 units from the target? Correct Answer 1600
Given, loss ∝ (deviation)2
⇒ loss = k (deviation)2
If loss = Rs 4900; deviation = 7 units
4900 = k (7)2
k = 100
For deviation = 4 unit
loss = k (4)2 = 100 × 42
= 1600
∴ The loss for a deviation of 4 units from the target is Rs. 1600
