    The radius of a cylinder is increasing at the rate of 3 m/s and its altitude is decreasing at the rate of 4 m/s. The rate of change of volume when radius is 4 m and altitude is 6 m, is:

    A)  \[80\text{ }\pi \text{ }cu\text{ }m/s\]                   

    B)  \[\text{144 }\pi \text{ }cu\text{ }m/s\]

    C)  80 cu m/s     

    D)         64 cu m/s

    E)  \[-\text{ }80\text{ }\pi \text{ }cu\text{ }m/s\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Let h and r be the height and radius of cylinder. Given that\[\frac{dr}{dt}=3m/s,\frac{dh}{dt}=-4m/s.\] Also, On differentiating w.r.t. t                 \[\frac{dV}{dt}=\pi \left[ {{r}^{2}}\frac{dh}{dt}+h.2r\frac{dr}{dt} \right]\] At           \[r=4m\text{ }and\text{ }h=6m\]             \[\frac{dV}{dt}=\pi [-64+144]=80\pi \,cu\,m/s\]
