Sand is pouring from a pipe at the rate of $12 \text{ cm}^3/\text{s}$. The falling sand forms a cone on the ground in such a way that the height of the cone is always one-sixth of the radius of the base. How fast is the height of the sand cone increasing when the height is $4 \text{ cm}$?

  • A
    $\frac{1}{48 \pi} \text{ cm/s}$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{72 \pi} \text{ cm/s}$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{96 \pi} \text{ cm/s}$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{108 \pi} \text{ cm/s}$

$A$ particle starts moving from rest from a fixed point in a fixed direction. The distance $s$ from the fixed point at a time $t$ is given by $s = t^{2} + at - b + 17$, where $a$ and $b$ are real numbers. If the particle comes to rest after $5 \ s$ at a distance of $s = 25$ units from the fixed point, then the values of $a$ and $b$ are respectively:
