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 :
Multiple Choice Options
- A 9
- B 10
- C 11
- D 12
Step-by-Step Verified Solution
We know,
Surface area of balloon (s) = 4 r2
Given that, surface area of balloon is increasing in constant rate.
= constant = k (Assume)
..... (1)
Given at t = 0, radius r = 3
So,
Equation (1) becomes
Also given, at t = 5, radius r = 7
Equation (1) is
Now at
