CBSEENMA12035051

The rate of change of the area of a circle with respect to its radius r at r = 6 cm is
  • 10 straight pi
  • 12 straight pi
  • 8 straight pi
  • 11 straight pi

Solution

B.

12 straight pi

Let A be area of circle of radius r
         therefore space space space space space space space space space straight A space equals space πr squared
Rate of change of area w.r.t. r = dA over dr space equals space straight d over dr left parenthesis πr squared right parenthesis space equals space 2 πr
When r = 6,   rate of change of area  = 2 straight pi cross times 6 space equals space 12 space straight pi.
therefore space space space space left parenthesis straight B right parenthesis thin space is space correct space answer.
