    The length of the side of a square sheet of metal is increasing at the rate of \[4cm/\sec \]. The rate at which the area of the sheet is increasing when the length of its side is     2 cm, is

    A)            \[16\,c{{m}^{2}}/\sec \]

    B)            \[8\,c{{m}^{2}}/\sec \]

    C)            \[32\,c{{m}^{2}}/\sec \]

    D)            None of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

               Given that rate of metal increasing                    \[=4cm/\sec =v=\frac{da}{dt}\]                    We know that area of square sheet =a2, (where a is side). \[\therefore \frac{dA}{dt}=2a\frac{da}{dt}=2\times 2\times 4=16c{{m}^{2}}/\sec \].
