A circular ink blot on a piece of paper increases its area at the rate 4mm2/s. Find the rate of the radius of the blot when the radius is 8mm. [π=227]

A.

0.20 mm/s

B.

0.08 mm/s

C.

0.25 mm/s

D.

0.05 mm/s

Correct answer is B

Given: dAdt=4mm2/s

dAdt=(dAdr)(drdt)

A=πr2dAdr=2πr

4=2πr×drdt

drdt=42πr=4×72×22×8

= 0.07954mm/s
