Question:

Find the rate of change of the area of a circle per second when the radius increases at a speed of 2 cm/s and diameter D = 10 cm.

Options:

$10\pi$

$4\pi$

$20\pi$

$8\pi$

Correct Answer:

$20\pi$

Explanation:

Area of circle, $A=\pi r^2$

$⇒\frac{dA}{dt}=2\pi r\frac{dr}{dt}$

$⇒\frac{dA}{dt}=2\pi×5×2$

$⇒\frac{dA}{dt}=20\pi\,cm^2/s$
