Given =  \frac{dr}{dt} = 0.7 \ cm/s
To find =   \frac{dC}{dt}            , where C is circumference
Solution :-
 
we know that the circumference of the circle (C) = 2\pi r
\frac{dC}{dt} = \frac{dC}{dr}.\frac{dr}{dt}                              (by chain rule)
\frac{dC}{dt} = \frac{d2\pi r}{dr}.\frac{dr}{dt} = 2\pi \times 0.7 = 1.4\pi \ cm/s
Hence,  the rate of increase of its circumference is 1.4\pi \ cm/s
