Solution:  Total volume of gas =4500pi m^3

                 Volume decreses in 49 min. =72pi	imes 49=3528pi

                 Gas left after  49 min.=4500pi-3528pi=972pi

               	herefore    Radius after 49 minutes is given by

                                  frac43pi r^3=972piRightarrow r=9

               Now ,         V=frac43pi r^3

            	herefore         fracmathrmd Vmathrmd t=4pi r^2fracmathrmd rmathrmd t

            Rightarrow         72pi=4pi	imes 81fracmathrmd rmathrmd tRightarrow fracmathrmd rmathrmd t=frac29
