The radius of a sphere is changing at the rate of 0.1 cm/sec. The rate of change of its surface area when the radius is 200 cm, is

A.

8πcm2sec

B.

12πcm2sec

C.

160πcm2sec

D.

200πcm2sec

Right Answer is: C

SOLUTION

Let r be the radus and S be the surface area of the sphere at any time t. Then,
S=4πr2

dSdt=8πrdrdt(dSdt)r200=8π×200×0.1=160πcm2/sec
