    A spherical balloon is being inflated at the rate of 35 cc/min. The rate of increase of the surface area of the balloon when its diameter is 14 cm, is :

    A)  7 sq.cm/min

    B)  10 sq.cm/min

    C)  17.5 sq.cm/min

    D)  28 sq.cm/min

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Given \[\frac{dV}{dt}=35\,cc/\min ,\,\,r=7\,cm\] Volume of sphere \[(V)=\frac{4}{3}\pi \,{{r}^{3}}\] Differentiating V w.r.t t                  \[\frac{dV}{dt}=4{{\pi }^{2}}\frac{dr}{dt}\]                 \[\frac{dr}{dt}=\frac{35}{4\pi {{r}^{2}}}\] Surface area of sphere \[(S)=4\pi {{r}^{2}}\] On differentiating w.r.t t                 \[\frac{dS}{dt}=2\times 4\pi r\frac{dr}{dt}\]                 \[=2\times 4\pi r\times \frac{35}{4\pi {{r}^{2}}}=\frac{70}{7}\] \[\therefore \]  \[\frac{dS}{dt}=10\] sq.cm/min. Hence, rate of increase of surface area of spherical balloon is 10 sq. cm/min.
