Explanation
Density $$\rho = {{mass\,(m)} \over {volume\,(V)}}$$
Volume of sphere $$ = {4 \over 3}\pi {R^3} \Rightarrow \rho = {m \over {{4 \over 3}\pi {R^3}}} = {{3m} \over {4\pi {R^3}}}$$
Rearranging it we get
$$\rho {R^2} = {3 \over {4\pi }}m$$
It is given that mas m remains constant. Let the constant be k. Therefore,
$$\rho {R^3} = k$$
Differentiating it w.r.t. time, we get
$${d \over {dt}}(\rho {R^3}) = 0$$ (Since, differentiation of constant is zero)
$${R^3}{{d\rho } \over {dt}} + 3{R^2}\rho {{dR} \over {dt}} = 0$$
Now $${{dR} \over {dt}}$$, that is, rate of change of radius is equal to velocity. Therefore,
$${R^3}{{d\rho } \over {dt}} + 3{R^2}\rho v = 0 \Rightarrow 3{R^2}\rho v = - {R^3}{{d\rho } \over {dt}}$$
$$ \Rightarrow v = {{ - 1} \over 3}{{{R^3}} \over {{R^2}}}{1 \over \rho }{{d\rho } \over {dt}} = {{ - 1R} \over 3}{1 \over \rho }{{d\rho } \over {dt}}$$
It is given that rate of fractional change in density $$\left( {{1 \over \rho }{{d\rho } \over {dt}}} \right)$$ is constant. Thus,
v $$\propto$$ R
Thus velocity of any point on surface of expanding sphere is proportional to R.
