The volume of a cube is increasing at the rate of 9 c m 3 / s e c . The rate (in cm 2 / sec ) at which the surface area is increasing when the edge of the cube is 9 c m , is
Options
- A1
- B2
- C3
- D4
Correct answer
D. 4
Step-by-step solution
Let, length of the edge of the cube is a , volume is V and surface area is S , then V = a 3 ⇒ d V d t = 3 a 2 d a d t d a d t = 3 a 2 … 1 Now, S = 6 a 2 ⇒ d S d t = 12 a d a d t d S d t = 12 9 × 3 9 2 = 36 9 = 4 c m 2 / s e c .
