The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Let radius of spherical balloon = r After increasing 0.2%, radius $ = r + r \times\frac{0.2}{100} = \frac{1002}{1000} r $ Original volume $= \frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}$ and New volume $ = \frac{4}{3} \pi\left(\frac{1002}{1000}r\right)^{3} $ $\therefore $ Increased volume $= \frac{4}{3} \pi \left(\frac{1002}{1000}r\right)^{3} - \frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3} $ $= \frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3} \left[\left(\frac{1002}{1000}\right)^{3} - 1\right] $ $ \therefore $ % increased in volume $= \frac{\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3} \left[\left(1.002\right)^{3} - 1\right]}{\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}} \times100 $ $= (1.006 - 1) \times 100 $ $= 0.006 \times 100 = 0.600 = 0.6 % $

Various Applications of Derivatives-

Rate of Change of Quantities:

If some other quantity ‘y’ causes some change in a quantity of surely ‘x’, in view of the fact that an equation of the form y = f(x) gets consistently pleased, i.e, ‘y’ is a function of ‘x’ then the rate of change of ‘y’ related to ‘x’ is to be given by 

\(\frac{\triangle y}{\triangle x}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\)

This is also known to be as the Average Rate of Change.

Increasing and Decreasing Function:

Consider y = f(x) be a differentiable function (whose derivative exists at all points in the domain) in an interval x = (a,b).

  • If for any two points x1 and x2 in the interval x such a manner that x1 < x2, there holds an inequality f(x1) ≤ f(x2); then the function f(x) is known as increasing in this interval.
  • Likewise, if for any two points x1 and x2 in the interval x such a manner that x1 < x2, there holds an inequality f(x1) ≥ f(x2); then the function f(x) is known as decreasing in this interval.
  • The functions are commonly known as strictly increasing or decreasing functions, given the inequalities are strict: f(x1) < f(x2) for strictly increasing and f(x1) > f(x2) for strictly decreasing.
