JEE MAIN - Mathematics (2020 - 3rd September Evening Slot - No. 13)

If the surface area of a cube is increasing at a rate of 3.6 cm2/sec, retaining its shape; then the rate of change of its volume (in cm3/sec), when the length of a side of the cube is 10 cm, is :
9
10
18
20

Explanation

For cube of side 'a'

A = 6a2 and V = a3

Given $${{dA} \over {dt}} = 3.6$$

$$ \Rightarrow $$$$ 12a{{da} \over {dt}}$$ = 3.6

$${{dV} \over {dt}} = 3{a^2}.{{da} \over {dt}} = 3{a^2}\left( {{{3.6} \over {12a}}} \right)$$

at a = 10

$${{dV} \over {dt}} = 9$$
