Given =  \frac{dV}{dt} = 900 \ cm^{3}/s
To find =   \frac{dr}{dt}   at r = 15 cm
Solution:-

Volume of sphere(V) =  \frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}
\frac{dV}{dt} = \frac{dV}{dr}.\frac{dr}{dt} = \frac{d(\frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3})} {dr}.\frac{dr}{dt} = \frac{4}{3}\pi\times 3r^{2} \times \frac{dr}{dt}
                               
\frac{dV}{dt}= 4 \pi r^{2} \times \frac{dr}{dt}    
\frac{dr}{dt} = \frac{\frac{dV}{dt}}{4\pi r^{2}} = \frac{900}{4\pi \times(15)^{2}} = \frac{900}{900\pi} = \frac{1}{\pi} \ cm/s
Hence,  the rate at which the radius of the balloon increases when the radius is 15 cm is  \frac{1}{\pi} \ cm/s
