If the surface area of a spherical balloon of radius $6 \mathrm{~cm}$ is increasing at the rate $2 \mathrm{~cm}^2 / \mathrm{sec}$, then the rate of increase in its volume in $\mathrm{cm}^3 / \mathrm{sec}$ is
  1. $16$
  2. $6$
  3. $12$
  4. $8$

Solution

Surface area, $S=4 \pi r^2$ $\begin{aligned} & \therefore \quad \frac{\mathrm{dS}}{\mathrm{dt}}=8 \pi \mathrm{r} \frac{\mathrm{dr}}{\mathrm{dt}} \\ & \Rightarrow 2=8 \pi \mathrm{r} \frac{\mathrm{dr}}{\mathrm{dt}} \\ & \Rightarrow \frac{\mathrm{dr}}{\mathrm{dt}}=\frac{1}{4 \pi \mathrm{r}}...(i) \\ & \text { Volume, } V=\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 \\ & \therefore \quad \frac{\mathrm{dV}}{\mathrm{dt}}=\frac{4}{3} \times 3 \pi \mathrm{r}^2 \times \frac{\mathrm{dr}}{\mathrm{dt}} \\ & =4 \pi r^2 \times \frac{1}{4 \pi r}... [From (i)] \\ & =\mathrm{r} \\ & =6 \mathrm{~cm}^3 / \mathrm{sec} \\ & \end{aligned}$
