  1. A \(2 \pi: 3\)
  2. B \(3: 2 \pi\)
  3. C \(3: \pi\)
  4. D \(\pi: 6\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(3: \pi\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let the side of the cube be \(a\) and the radius of the sphere be \(r\). Given that the side of the cube is equal to the diameter of the sphere, we have \(a = 2r\). Let the rate of increase of the side and the radius be \(\dfrac{da}{dt} = \dfrac{dr}{dt} = k\). The surface area…
