    If the rate of change in volume of spherical soap bubble is uniform, then the rate of change of surface area varies as

    A) Square of radius

    B) Square root of radius

    C) Inversely proportional to radius

    D) Cube of the radius

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] Let volume \[=V=\frac{4}{3}\pi {{r}^{3}}\]             ?(1) and surface area \[=S=4\pi {{r}^{2}}\]              ?(2) Now, \[(1)\Rightarrow \frac{dv}{dt}=\frac{4}{3}\times 3\pi {{r}^{2}}\times \frac{dr}{dt}\]             \[=4\pi {{r}^{2}}\frac{dr}{dt}...(3)\] \[(2)\Rightarrow \frac{ds}{dt}=4\pi \times 2\times r\frac{dr}{dt}=\frac{8\pi {{r}^{2}}}{r}\frac{dr}{dt}\] \[=\frac{2}{r}\left[ 4\pi {{r}^{2}}\frac{dr}{dt} \right]=\frac{2}{r}\frac{dv}{dt}\]                     (from 3)
