Explanation / Answer

The cost of removing x% of pollutants from the coal burned by the power Company is C(x)=600x/(100-x). The amount budgeted by the power company for reducing pollutants is $ 1.4 million. Then, the percentage of pollutants removed with this expenditure is given by the equation C(x) =600x/(100-x) = 1.4 or, 1.4(100-x) = 600x or, 140-1.4x = 600x or, 600x +1.4x = 140 or, 601.4 x = 140 so that x =140/601.4 = 0.23279. Thus x = 0.23 % ( on rounding off to 2 decimal places). The 3rd option is the correct answer.
