Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation:
A = \(\pi\)r2, \(\frac{\delta A}{\delta r}\) = 2Ï€r
So, using \(\frac{\delta A}{\delta t}\) = \(\frac {\delta A}{\delta r}\) x \(\frac {\delta A}{\delta t}\)
= 2\(\pi\)r x 0.02
= 2\(\pi\) x 7 x 0.02
= 2 x \(\frac{22}{7}\) x 0.02
= 0.88cm2s-1
A = \(\pi\)r2, \(\frac{\delta A}{\delta r}\) = 2Ï€r
So, using \(\frac{\delta A}{\delta t}\) = \(\frac {\delta A}{\delta r}\) x \(\frac {\delta A}{\delta t}\)
= 2\(\pi\)r x 0.02
= 2\(\pi\) x 7 x 0.02
= 2 x \(\frac{22}{7}\) x 0.02
= 0.88cm2s-1
