The radius of the base of a cone is increasing at the rate \(3 \mathrm{~cm} /\) minute and the altitude is decreasing at the rate \(4 \mathrm{~cm} /\) minute. The rate at which the lateral surface area is changing, when the radius is 7 cm and altitude is 24 cm . is

  1. A \(75 \pi \mathrm{~cm}^2 /\) minute
  2. B \(25 \pi \mathrm{~cm}^2 /\) minute
  3. C \(3 \pi \mathrm{~cm}^2 /\) minute
  4. D \(54 \pi \mathrm{~cm}^2 /\) minute
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(54 \pi \mathrm{~cm}^2 /\) minute

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( l = \sqrt{r^2 + h^2} \) \( l = \sqrt{7^2 + 24^2} = \sqrt{49 + 576} = \sqrt{625} = 25 \mathrm{~cm} \)
