    If the edge of a cube increases at the rate of  60 cm per second, at what rate the volume is increasing when the edge is 90 cm

    A)            486000 cu cm per sec

    B)            1458000 cu cm per sec

    C)            43740000 cu cm per sec

    D)            None of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

               \[\frac{da}{dt}=60cm/sec,\]where a is edge and t is time.                    \[V={{a}^{3}}\]. \[\therefore \frac{dV}{dt}=3{{a}^{2}}\frac{da}{dt}=3{{a}^{2}}\times 60=180{{a}^{2}}=180\times {{(90)}^{2}}\]                                                                         \[=1458000c{{m}^{3}}/sec\].
