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

If the surface area of a sphere of radius \(r\) is increasing uniformly at the rate \(8\, cm^2/s\), then the rate of change of its volume is

  1. A constant
  2. B proportional to \(\sqrt r \)
  3. C proportional to \(r^2\)
  4. D proportional to \(r\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) proportional to \(r\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(V = \frac{4}{3}\pi {r^3}\,\, \Rightarrow \frac{{dV}}{{dt}} = 4\pi {r^2}.\frac{{dr}}{{dt}}\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,.....\left( i \right)\) \(S = 4\pi {r^2} \Rightarrow \frac{{dS}}{{dt}} = 8\pi r.\frac{{dr}}{{dt}}\)…
