A stone is dropped in a quiet lake and it is observed that waves move in circles, If the radius of a circular wave increases at the rate $2 \mathrm{~cm} / \mathrm{sec}$, then the rate of increase in its area at the instant when its radius is $10 \mathrm{~cm}$, is $\mathrm{cm}^2 / \mathrm{sec}$.
  1. $40 \pi$
  2. $80 \pi$
  3. $10 \pi$
  4. $20 \pi$

Solution

Given $\frac{d r}{d t}=2 \mathrm{~cm} / \mathrm{sec} r=10 \mathrm{~cm}$ We have $A=\pi r^2$ Diff. w.r.t. $\mathrm{t}$ $\begin{aligned} & \frac{d A}{d t}=2 \pi r \frac{d r}{d t} \\ & =2 \pi \times 10 \times 2 \\ & =40 \pi\end{aligned}$
