    If the rate of increase of area of a circle is not constant but the rate of increase of perimeter is constant, then the rate of increase of area varies [SCRA 1996]

    A)            As the square of the perimeter

    B)            Inversely as the perimeter

    C)            As the radius

    D)            Inversely as the radius

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

               Perimeter \[P=2\pi r\]                    \[\frac{dP}{dt}=2\pi .\,\frac{dr}{dt}\]and \[A=\pi {{r}^{2}}\]                    \[\frac{dA}{dt}=2\pi r.\,\,\frac{dr}{dt}\] Þ \[\frac{dA}{dt}=\frac{dP}{dt}\times r\]Þ \[\frac{dA}{dt}\propto r\].
