    $7$
  • B
    $5$

The radius of a right circular cylinder increases at the rate of $0.1 \text{ cm/min}$ and the height decreases at the rate of $0.2 \text{ cm/min}$. The rate of change of the volume of the cylinder in $\text{cm}^3\text{/min}$,when the radius is $2 \text{ cm}$ and the height is $3 \text{ cm}$,is:

$A$ bulb is placed at the centre of a circular track of radius $10 \ m$. $A$ vertical wall is erected touching the track at a point $P$. $A$ man is running along the track with a speed of $10 \ m/sec$. Starting from $P$, the speed with which his shadow is running along the wall when he is at an angular distance of $60^{\circ}$ from $P$ is: (in $m/sec$)

The edge of a cube is increasing at the rate of $5 \, cm/\sec$. How fast is the volume of the cube increasing when the edge is $12 \, cm$ long? (in $cm^3/\sec$)

The radius of a right circular cylinder increases at a constant rate. Its altitude is a linear function of the radius and increases three times as fast as the radius. When the radius is $1 \, cm$,the altitude is $6 \, cm$. When the radius is $6 \, cm$,the volume is increasing at the rate of $1 \, cm^3/sec$. When the radius is $36 \, cm$,the volume is increasing at a rate of $n \, cm^3/sec$. The value of $n$ is equal to:

$A$ stone is dropped in a quiet lake and it is observed that waves move in circles. If the radius of a circular wave increases at the rate of $2 \text{ cm/sec}$, then the rate of increase in its area at the instant when its radius is $10 \text{ cm}$, is in $\text{cm}^2\text{/sec}$: (in $\pi$)
