Maximum profit: An barrels manufacturer can produce up to 300 barrels per day. The profit made from the sale of these barrels can be modelled by the function `P(x) = -10x^(2) +3500x -66000 ` where P(x) is the profit in rupees and x is the number of barrels made and sold.

Based on this model answer the following questions:
What is the profit/loss if 175 barrels are produced

Options

A. Profit 266200
B. Loss 266200
C. Profit 240250
D. Loss 240250

Answer

C

Explanation

`P(175) = -10 (175)^(2) +3500 (175) -66000 = 240250`
Thus (c) is correct option.
