JEE Mains · Maths · STD 12 - 6. Application of derivatives

If the surface area of a cube is increasing at a rate of \(3.6 cm ^{2} / sec ,\) remaining its shape; then the rate of change of its volume (in \(cm ^{3} / sec\) ), when the length of a side of the cube is \(10 cm ,\) is

  1. A \(9\)
  2. B \(18\)
  3. C \(10\)
  4. D \(20\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(9\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\frac{ d }{ dt }\left(6 a ^{2}\right)=3.6 \Rightarrow 12 a \frac{ da }{ dt }=3.6\) \(a \frac{ da }{ dt }=0.3\) \(\frac{ dv }{ dt }=\frac{ d }{ dt }\left( a ^{3}\right)=3 a \left( a \frac{ da }{ dt }\right)\) \(=3 \times 10 \times 0.3=9\)
