The sum of the surface areas of a cuboid with sides `x ,2x`and `x/3`and a sphere is given to be constant. Prove that the sum of their volumesis minimum, if `x`is equal to threetimes the radius of sphere. Also find the minimum value of the sum of theirvolumes.

Answer» Let radius of Sphere in r
Surface area=`4pir^2`
Surface area of cuboid=`2(lb+bh+hl)`
`=2(x*2x+2x*x/3+x*2/3)`
`=6x^2` unit
`S=4xr^2+6x^2`
`r=sqrt((S-6x^2)/(4x)`
`S=x*2x*x/3+4/3*x*r^3`
`S=2/3X^3+4/3x((S-6x^2)/(6x))^(3/2)`
`dv/dx=2x^2+(4x)/(3(4x)^(3/2))*d/dx(5-6x^2)^(3/2)`
`2x^2=(12x)/(2(4x)^(1/2))*3/2(5-6x^2)^(1/2)`
`x=12/4((S_6x^2)/(4x))`
`x=3r,r=x/3`
`V=2/3x^3+4/3x(x/3)^3`
`V_(min)=2/3x^3+4/8x^3`.
