  1. A \(\frac{2}{1}\)
  2. B \(\frac{3}{1}\)
  3. C \(\frac{4}{1}\)
  4. D \(\frac{6}{1}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{2}{1}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, \[ d l=0.01 \] Area of equilateral triangle i.e. \[ A=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} l^2 \] \(\Rightarrow \quad \frac{d A}{d l}=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} l\)…
