Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(200 \pi\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Hints : \(\mathrm{A}=\pi \mathrm{r}^2 \quad \frac{d r}{d t}=5\) \[ \begin{aligned} & \frac{\mathrm{dA}}{\mathrm{dt}}=2 \pi r \frac{\mathrm{dr}}{\mathrm{dt}}=2 \pi 20(5) \\ & =200 \pi \end{aligned} \]
