Explain solution RD Sharma class 12 chapter Derivative as a Rate Measure exercise 12.1 question 4 maths

Answers (1)

Answer: 3cm

Hint:

We have to differentiate area of circular disc (A) with respect to its circumference (L)

Area of circular disc, A=\pi r^{2}

Circumference of circular disc, L=2\pi r

Given:

Radius of a circular disc, r=3 cm

Solution:

Here we have,

Radius of disc, r=3 cm

Circumference of disc, L=2\pi r

Let’s differentiate with the circumference with respect to radius r

                                            \frac{dL}{dr}=2\pi

\therefore \frac{dr}{dL}=\frac{1}{2\pi }\: \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; .....(i)            \left[\because \frac{d\left(x^{n}\right)}{d x}=n x^{n-1}\right]

Area of circular disc, A=\pi r^{2}.

Let’s differentiate with the area with respect to L

\therefore \frac{d A}{d L}=2 \pi r\frac{dr}{d L}

\therefore \frac{d A}{d L}=\frac{2 \pi r}{2 \pi }                                    {From eq.(i)}

\therefore \frac{d A}{d L}=r

Putting value of r=3cmr = 3cm

Note:

Here we cannot write directly,

A=\frac{L}{2}r            It's wrong
