Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(1 \mathrm{~cm}^3 / \mathrm{cm}^2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Volume of sphere \((V)=\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3\)
Surface area of sphere \((A)=4 \pi r^2\)
\(\frac{\mathrm{dV}}{\mathrm{dr}}=4 \pi \mathrm{r}^2 \text { and } \frac{\mathrm{dA}}{\mathrm{dr}}=8 \pi \mathrm{r}\)
\(\begin{aligned} & \therefore \quad\left(\frac{d V}{d A}\right)=\frac{\left(\frac{d V}{d r}\right)}{\left(\frac{d A}{d r}\right)}=\frac{4 \pi r^2}{8 \pi r}=\frac{r}{2} \\ & \therefore \quad\left(\frac{d V}{d A}\right)_{r=2}=1 \mathrm{~cm}^3 / \mathrm{cm}^2\end{aligned}\)
