The radius of a circle is increasing at the rate $2 \mathrm{~cm} / \mathrm{sec}$. The rate at which its area is increasing when the radius of the circle is 5 decimeters is
  1. $100 \pi \mathrm{cm}^{2} / \mathrm{sec}$
  2. $200 \pi \mathrm{cm}^{2} / \mathrm{sec}$
  3. $2000 \pi \mathrm{cm}^{2} / \mathrm{sec}$
  4. $20 \pi \mathrm{cm}^{2} / \mathrm{sec}$

Solution

Here $\frac{\mathrm{dr}}{\mathrm{dt}}=2$ and $\mathrm{r}=5$ decimeter $=50 \mathrm{~cm}$ Now Area of circle $=\mathrm{A}=\pi \mathrm{r}^{2}$. $\begin{aligned} \therefore \frac{\mathrm{d} \mathrm{A}}{\mathrm{dt}} &=2 \pi \mathrm{r} \frac{\mathrm{dr}}{\mathrm{dt}} \\ &=2 \times \pi \times 50 \times 2=200 \pi \mathrm{cm}^{2} / \mathrm{sec} \end{aligned}$
