Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 18

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\begin{aligned} & \text { Given, } y=3 x^5+15 x-8 \\ & \quad \frac{d x}{d t}=\frac{1}{5} \text { unit } / \mathrm{sec} \Rightarrow \frac{d y}{d t}=6 \text { unit } / \mathrm{sec} \\ & \frac{d y}{d t}=\left(15 x^4+15\right) \frac{d x}{d t} \\ & \Rightarrow \quad…
