Consider a rectangle whose length is increasing at the uniform rate of 2 ~m / sec , breadth is decreasing at the uniform rate of 3 ~m / sec and the area is decreasing at the uniform rate of 5 ~m ^2 / sec . If after some time the breadth of the rectangle is 2 ~m then the length of the rectangle is
Options
- A2 ~m
- B4 ~m
- C1 ~m
- D3 ~m
Correct answer
D. 3 ~m
Step-by-step solution
Let A be the area, b be the breadth and be the length of the rectangle. Given: d A d t =-5, d d t =2, d b d t =-3 We know, A= b aligned & d A d t = d b d t +b d d t =-3 +2 b & -5=-3 +2 b . aligned When b=2 , we have -5=-3 +4 = 9 3 =3 m
