MCQ
Consider a rectangle whose length is increasing at the uniform rate of $2\, m/sec$, breadth is decreasing at the uniform rate of $3\, m/sec$ and the area is decreasing at the uniform rate of $5\,m^2/ sec$ . If after some time the breadth of the rectangle is $2\, m$ then the length of the rectangle is ........ $m.$
  • A
    $2$
  • B
    $4$
  • C
    $1$
  • $3$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$3$
d
Let $A$ be the area, $b$ be the breadth and $\ell $ be the length of the rectangle.

Given: $\frac{{dA}}{{dt}} =  - 5,\frac{{d\ell }}{{dt}} = 2,\frac{{db}}{{dt}} =  - 3$

We know, $A = \ell  \times b$

$ \Rightarrow \frac{{dA}}{{dt}} = \ell .\frac{{db}}{{dt}} + b.\frac{{d\ell }}{{dt}} =  - 3\ell  + 2b$

$ \Rightarrow  - 5 = 3\ell  + 2b$

When $b=2$, we have 

$ - 5 = 3\ell  + 4 \Rightarrow \ell  = \frac{9}{3} = 3m$
