    Question 6
    2024 PYQ

    A chemical is used to remove the impurities from the pulp by a bleaching process generating toxic and non-toxic wastes. The toxic waste generated is 0.05 times the square of the amount of chemical used, while the non-toxic waste generated is equal to 0.1 times the amount of chemical used. The pulp yield is 19.1 times the amount of chemical used. Determine the amount of chemical to be used to maximize the pulp yield and minimize the wastes.
