We need to find the most economical speed for running the engine, given that: 1. Fuel cost is proportional to the square of the speed \( v \) (in km/h). 2. Fuel cost is Rs. 48 per hour when the speed is 16 km/h. 3. Other costs (fixed costs) are Rs. 300 per hour. ### Step 1: Express the Fuel Cost Function Since fuel cost \( C_f \) is proportional to \( v^2 \), we can write: \[ C_f = k v^2 \] Using the given data: \[ 48 = k (16)^2 \] Solving for \( k \): \[ k = \frac{48}{256} = 0.1875 \] Thus, the fuel cost function is: \[ C_f = 0.1875 v^2 \] ### Step 2: Express the Total Cost Function The total
