    If by dropping a stone in a quiet lake a wave moves in circle at a speed of 3.5 cm/sec, then the rate of increase of the enclosed circular region when the radius of the circular wave is 10 cm, is \[\left( \pi =\frac{22}{7} \right)\]  [MP PET 1998]

    A)            220 sq. cm/sec

    B)            110 sq. cm/sec

    C)            35 sq. cm/sec

    D)            350 sq. cm/sec

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

               Given the rate of increasing the radius \[=\frac{dr}{dt}=3.5cm/sec\] and\[r=10cm\]                    Area of circle \[=\pi {{r}^{2}}\], \[A=\pi {{r}^{2}}\]                    Þ \[\frac{dA}{dt}=2\pi r.\frac{dr}{dt}\]Þ \[\frac{dA}{dt}=2\pi \times 10\times 3.5\]                    Þ \[\frac{dA}{dt}=220c{{m}^{2}}/sec\].
