Question 1.
Find the rate of change of the area of a circle with respect to its radius, when
(a) r = 3 cm (b) r = 4 cm
Solution:
Let A be the area of the circle of radius r.
∴ A = πr2
and \(\frac{d A}{d r}\) = 2πr
(a) When r = 3 cm, \(\frac{d A}{d r}\) = 2π × 3 = 6π cm2
(b) When r = 4 cm, \(\frac{d A}{d r}\) = 2π × 4 = 8π cm2

Question 3.
The radius of a circle is increasing uniformly at the rate of 3 cm per second. Find the rate at which the area of the circle is increasing, when the radius is 10 cm.
Solution:
Let r be the radius of the circle.
∴ Rate of increase of radius = \(\frac{d r}{d t}\) = 3 cm/sec.
Now, area of circle π r2 = A (say).
∴ \(\frac{d A}{d t}\) = \(\frac{d}{d t}\)(πr2) = \(\frac{d}{d t}\)(πr2). \(\frac{d r}{d t}\)
= 2πr × 3 = 6πr
When r = 10,
the rate of change of area = 6π × 10 = 60 π cm2/sec.

Question 4.

Question 6.
The radius of a circle is increasing at 0.7 cm/s. What is the rate of increase of its circumference ?
Solution:
The rate of change of radius of the circle w.r.t. time t is given to be 0.7 cm/sec, i.e., \(\frac{d r}{d t}\) = 0.7 cm/sec.
Now, circumference of the circle is C = 2πr.
∴ The rate of change of circumference w.r.t. t is given by
= \(\frac{d \mathrm{C}}{d t}\) = [\(\frac{d}{d r}\)(2r) . \(\frac{d r}{d t}\)]
= 2π . \(\frac{d r}{d t}\) = 2π × 0.7
= 1.47π cm/sec.

Question 7.
The length x of a rectangle is decreasing at the rate of 5 cm/minute and the width y is increasing at the rate of 4 cm/ minute. When x = 8 cm, then y = 6 cm. Find the rate of change of
(a) the perimeter and
(b) the area of the rectangle.
Solution:
(a) The length x of a rectangle is decreasing at the rate of 5 cm/minute.
GSEB Solutions Class 12 Maths Chapter 6 Application of Derivatives Ex 6.1 5
∴ Putting these values in (3), we get
\(\frac{d \mathrm{~A}}{d t}\) = (- 5 × 6) + 8 × 4 = – 30 + 32
= 2cm2/min.
⇒ A increases at the rate of 2 cm2/minute.

\(\frac{4}{3}\) π. 3r2 . \(\frac{d r}{d t}\)

Question 14.
Sand is pouring from a pipe at the rate of 12 cm³/sec. The falling sand forms a cone on the ground in such a way that the height of the cone is always one-sixth of the radius of the base. How fast is the height of the sand-cone increasing, when the height is 4 cm?
Solution:
Let r and h be the radius and height of the sand-cone at time t respectively.
So, h = \(\frac{r}{6}\) …….. (1)
Let V be the volume of the cone.
So, V = \(\frac{1}{2}\) πr2h = \(\frac{1}{3}\) π(6h)2h [∵ r = 6h]
= \(\frac{1}{3}\) π × 36h2 . h = 12 πh3
∴ \(\frac{d \mathrm{~V}}{d t}\) = 12 π (3h2) \(\frac{d h}{d t}\) = 36πh2 \(\frac{d h}{d t}\) ………. (2)
It is given that sand is pouring at the rate of 12 cm3/sec.
∴ \(\frac{d \mathrm{~V}}{d t}\) = 12 …………… (3)

Question 15.
The total cost C(x) associated with production of x units of an item is given by C(x) = 0.007 x3 – 0.003x2 + 15x + 4000. Find the marginal cost, when 17 units are produced.
Solution:
Marginal cost MC = Instantaneous rate of change of total cost at any level of output
= \(\frac{d \mathrm{C}}{d x}\)
Now, C(x) = 0.007x3 – 0.003 x2 + 15x + 4000
∴ MC = \(\frac{d \mathrm{C}}{d x}\) = 3 × 0.007x2 – 2 × 0.003x + 15 dx
= 0.021 x2 – 0.006x + 15
When x = 17, \(\frac{d \mathrm{C}}{d x}\) = 0.021 × 17 × 17 – 0.006 × 17 + 15
= 6.069 – 0.102 + 15 = 20.967.
∴ Marginal Cost = ₹ 20.97.

Question 16.
The total revenue received from the sale of x units of a product is given by R(x) = 13x2 + 26x + 15. Find the marginal revenue, when x = 7.
Solution:
Marginal Revenue (MR) = Rate of change of total revenue with respect to the number of items sold at an instant = \(\frac{d \mathrm{R}}{d x}\).
We know that R(x) = 13x2 + 26x + 15
∴ MR = \(\frac{d \mathrm{R}}{d x}\) = 26x + 26 = 26 (x + 1)
When x = 7, ∴ MR = 26 (x + 1) = 26 (7 + 1) = 26 × 8 = 208.
Hence, Marginal Revenue = ₹ 208.

Question 17.
The rate of change of area of a circle with respect to its radius r at r = 6 cm is
(A) 10π
(B) 12π
(C) 8π
(D) 11π
Solution:
Area of circle (A) = πr2.
∴ The rate of change of area w.r.t. its radius r = \(\frac{d \mathrm{A}}{d r}\) = 2πr
At r = 6, \(\frac{d \mathrm{~A}}{d r}\) = 2π × 6 = 12π cm2/radius.
⇒ Part (B) is the correct answer.

Question 18.
The total revenue (in Rupees) received from the sale of x units of a product is given by R(x) = 3x2 + 36x + 5. The marginal revenue at x = 15 is
(A) 116
(B) 96
(C) 90
(D) 126
Solution:
R(x) = 3x2 + 36x + 5
∴ MR = \(\frac{d \mathrm{~R}}{d x}\) = 6x + 36
∴ For x = 15, \(\frac{d \mathrm{~R}}{d x}\) = 6 × 15 + 36
= 90 + 36 = 126 [Given x = 15]
⇒ Part (D) is the correct answer.
