    If the radius of the sphere is increased by 2 cm, its surfaces area increases by \[352\,\,c{{m}^{2}}.\] The radius of the sphere before increase was

    A) 3 cm                            

    B) 4 cm 

    C) 6 cm                

    D) 6 cm

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Let the radius of the sphere be r cm.
    Then, surface area of sphere \[=4\pi {{r}^{2}}\]
    According to the question,
    \[4\pi \,\,{{(r+2)}^{2}}=4\pi {{r}^{2}}+352\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]\[4\pi \,\,{{(r+2)}^{2}}-4\pi {{r}^{2}}=352\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]\[4\pi \,\,[{{(r+2)}^{2}}-{{r}^{2}}]=352\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]   \[4\pi \,\,[4+4r]=352\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]               \[(r+1)=\frac{352\times 7}{4\times 22\times 4}\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]\[r+1=7\]\[\Rightarrow \]\[r=6\,\,cm\]
