The edge of a cube is decreasing at the rate of 0.04 cm/sec. If the edge of the cube is 10 cms, then rate of decrease of surface area of the cube is …
Options
- A4.8 c m 2 s e c
- B4.08 c m 2 s e c
- C48 c m 2 s e c
- D4.008 c m 2 s e c
Correct answer
A. 4.8 c m 2 s e c
Step-by-step solution
Let edge of a cube be x cm, then surface area of the cube, A = 6 x 2 It is given that, d x d t = - 0.04 cm/sec Now, d A d t = 12 x d x d t = 12 x - 0.04 = - 0.48 x when, x = 10 , then d A d t = 0.48 × 10 = - 4.8 c m 2 s e c
