The surface area of a balloon of spherical shape being inflated, increases at a constant rate. If initially, the radius of balloon is \(3\) units and after \(5\) seconds, it becomes \(7\) units, then its radius after \(9\) seconds is

  1. A \(9\)
  2. B \(10\)
  3. C \(11\)
  4. D \(12\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(9\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \(r\) be the radius of spherical balloon \(S =\) Surface area \(S =4 \pi r ^{2}\) \(\frac{ dS }{ dt }=8 \pi r \times \frac{ dr }{ dt }= k \text { (constant) }\) \(4 \pi r ^{2}= kt + C\) (C is constant of integration) For \(t =0, r =3 \Rightarrow 36 \pi= C\) For…
