x^{2}+y^{2}=4                                   \frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} t}=-25

x\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}+y\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} t}=0

\sqrt{3}\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}\pm \times 25=0

\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}=\frac{25}{\sqrt{3}}\: \: \: cm/sec


Option 1)

25 

Option 2)

 \frac{25}{3} 

Option 3)

 \frac{25}{\sqrt{3}} 

Option 4)

 25\sqrt{3}
