Mark the correct alternative in the following:

The radius of a sphere is increasing at the rate of 0.2 cm/sec. The rate at which the volume of the sphere increases when radius is 15 cm, is


The volume of a sphere, of radius r, is defined by

– (1)


Given that r=15cm, , we have to calculate


Differentiating (1) with respect to t, we get



Substituting values, we get


1
