A man plans to jump and climb the stairs. The path (as shown in the figure) he moves for the first jump is given by y=y(x)=x+2x−3x2y = y(x) = x + \sqrt{2x - 3x^2} where 'x' (in meters) is the horizontal distance moved and 'y' (in meters) is the corresponding height. Assuming that his initial point is at origin.

Based on the above information answer the Questions

The maximum height (in meters) achieved in the first jump is

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

Maximum occurs at x=12x = \frac{1}{2}.

y(12)=12+1−34=12+12=1y(\frac{1}{2}) = \frac{1}{2} + \sqrt{1 - \frac{3}{4}} = \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{2} = 1.
