A gardener is digging a plot of land. As he gets tired, he works more slowly. After 't' minutes he is digging at a rate of ( 2 t ) square metres per minute. How long will it take him to dig an area of ( 40 ) square metres?
Options
- A( 10 ) minutes
- B( 40 ) minutes
- C( 100 ) minutes
- D( 30 ) minutes
Correct answer
C. ( 100 ) minutes
Step-by-step solution
Given that, d A d t = 2 t d A= 2 t d t Integrating both the sides, we have d A= 2 d t t A=2 2 t +C When t=0 we have C=0 So, 4 t =40 t=10²=100 ~min
