Let $r$ be the radius of the sphere. Given, rate of change in radius $\frac{d r}{d t}=0.04 \mathrm{~cm} / \mathrm{sec}$ Volume of sphere $(V)=\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3$ Differentiating w.r.t, $t$, we get $ \frac{d V}{d t}=\frac{4}{3} \pi\left(3 r^2\right) \cdot \frac{d r}{d t} $

Surface area of sphere $(S)=4 \pi r^2$ $ \frac{d S}{d t}=4 \pi(2 r) \cdot \frac{d r}{d t} $

Eq. (i) divided by Eq. (ii), we get $ \begin{array}{ll} \frac{\frac{d V}{d t}}{\frac{d S}{d t}}=\frac{4 \pi r^2 \cdot \frac{d r}{d t}}{8 \pi r \cdot \frac{d r}{d t}} & \\ \frac{d V}{d S}=\frac{r}{2}=\frac{10}{2} & {[\because r=10 \mathrm{~cm}]} \\ \frac{d V}{d S}=5 \mathrm{~cm} & \end{array} $ Hence, option (d) is correct
