The surface area of a balloon of spherical shape being inflated, increases at a constant rate. If initially, the radius of balloon is 3 units and after 5 seconds, it becomes 7 units, then its radius after 9 seconds is :(A) 9(B) 10(C) 11(D) 12

Answer»

Correct option is (A) 9

Let r be the radius of spherical balloon

S = Surface area

S = 4πr2

\(\frac{dS}{dt}=8πr \times\frac{dr}{dt}=k(constant)\)

4πr2 = kt + C (C is constant of integration)

For t = 0, r = 3 ⇒ 36π = C

For t = 5, r = 7 ⇒ K = 32π

4πr2 = 32πt + 36π

r2 = 8t + 9

for t = 9

r2 = 81

r = 9
