    A sphere increase its volume at the rate of \[\pi cc/s.\]The rate at which its surface area increases when the radius is 1 cm is

    A) \[2\pi \,sq\,cm/s\]                         

    B) \[\pi \,sq\,cm/s\]

    C) \[\frac{3\pi }{2}sq\,cm/s\]                          

    D) \[\frac{\pi }{2}sq\,cm/s\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Given rate of increase volume of sphere is \[\frac{dV}{dt}=\pi \]                                     ?...(i) We know that, Volume of sphere; \[V=\frac{4}{3}\,\pi {{r}^{3}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]  \[\frac{dV}{dt}=\frac{4}{3}\pi .3{{r}^{2}}.\frac{dr}{dt}=4\pi {{r}^{2}}\frac{dr}{dt}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[\pi =4\,\pi {{r}^{2}}\frac{dr}{dt};\]  [from Eq.(i)] \[\Rightarrow \] \[\frac{dr}{dt}=\frac{1}{4{{r}^{2}}}\]                      ??(ii) Also, we know that, surface of sphere,                                 \[S=4\pi {{r}^{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[\frac{dS}{dt}=8\pi r\frac{dr}{dt}=8\pi r.\frac{1}{4{{r}^{2}}}\]   [from Eq. (ii)]                 \[\Rightarrow \]    \[\pi =4\,\pi {{r}^{2}}\frac{dr}{dt};\]  \[[\because \,\,\,given\,\,r=1]\]                 \[\Rightarrow \]    \[\frac{dS}{dt}=2\pi \] So, rate of increase in surface \[=2\pi \,sq\,cm/s\]
