    The diagonal of a square is changing at the rate of\[0.5\text{ }cm{{s}^{-1}}\]. Then, the rate of change of area, when the area is\[400\text{ }c{{m}^{2}},\]is equal to

    A)  \[20\sqrt{2}c{{m}^{2}}/s\]         

    B)  \[10\sqrt{2}c{{m}^{2}}/s\]

    C)  \[\frac{1}{10\sqrt{2}}c{{m}^{2}}/s\]

    D)         \[\frac{10}{\sqrt{2}}c{{m}^{2}}/s\]

    E)  \[5\sqrt{2}\,c{{m}^{2}}/s\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Let D denotes the diagonal of the square. Given,       \[\frac{dD}{dt}=0.5\text{ }cm/s\]                      ... (i) Since, \[A=400=\frac{1}{2}{{D}^{2}}\Rightarrow D=20\sqrt{2}\] As\[A=\frac{{{D}^{2}}}{2}\] On differentiating w.r.t. t, we get \[\frac{dA}{dt}=\frac{d}{dt}\left( \frac{{{D}^{2}}}{2} \right)\] \[=D\frac{dD}{dt}\] \[=20\sqrt{2}\times 0.5\] \[=10\sqrt{2}c{{m}^{2}}/s\]
