A spherical chocolate ball has a layer of ice-cream of uniform thickness around it. When the thickness of the ice-cream layer is 1 cm, the ice-cream melts at the rate of 81 cm3/min and the thickness of the ice-cream layer decreases at the rate of 14 cm/min. The surface area (in cm2) of the chocolate ball (without the ice-cream layer) is :
- 128
- 196
- 225
- 256
Answer
(4) 256
Solution
Only the ice-cream shrinks: V= 43 (R3-r3) with r fixed.

dVdt=4 R2 dRdt 81=4 R2 14 R=9
r=R-1=8 cm
Surface area = 4 r2=256 cm2
