Let M be the maximum value of the product of two positive integers...
Let M be the maximum value of the product of two positive integers when their sum is . Let the sample space and the event . Then is equal to
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
B.
Step-by-step solution
Given,
Sum of two integer is , so one number will be and other will be ,
And given is maximum value of their product,
So let
Now differentiating to find maxima and minima we get,
Now equating with zero to find point of maxima as represents a downward parabola so it will give maxima,
So ,
Hence, the value of
Now solving
So total numbers,
Now for probability of , favourable outcomes will be total numbers,
So probability will be
