A square plate is contracting at the uniform rate 4   cm 2 / sec , then the rate at which the perimeter is decreasing, when side of the square is 20   cm , is

A. 1 5   cm / sec .

B. 4   cm / sec .

C. 2   cm / sec .

D. 2 5   cm / sec .

Correct Option is (D)

Let A, P and X be the area, perimeter and length of side of square respectively at time 't' seconds. Then,

A = X 2 , P = 4 X P = 4 A  Differentiating w.r.t.  t ,  we get  dP dt = 4 1 2 A dA dt = 2 X dA dt = 2 20 × 4 [ side = 20   cm dA dt = 4   cm 2 / sec ] = 2 5   cm / sec

A ladder of length 17   m rests with one end against a vertical wall and the other on the level ground. If the lower end slips away at the rate of 1   m / sec ., then when it is 8   m away from the wall, its upper end is coming down at the rate of

A. 5 8   m / sec .

B. 8 15   m / sec .

C. 8 15   m / sec .

D. 15 8   m / sec .

Correct Option is (B)

MHT CET 2023 10th May Morning Shift Mathematics - Application of Derivatives Question 14 English Explanation

In ABC , AC represents ladder

AB vertical wall

Let AB = x , BC = y

ABC = 90

By Pythagoras theorem,

AB 2 + BC 2 = AC 2 x 2 + y 2 = 17 2 x 2 = 289 y 2 x 2 = 289 64 x 2 = 225 x = 15   m

Consider equation (i),

x 2 = 289 y 2

Differentiating w.r.t. t, we get

2 x d x dt = 2 y d y dt 15 d x dt = 8 ( 1 ) d x dt = 8 15   m / s

Negative sign shows that the ladder is moving down. i.e., vertical length is decreasing

Upper end is coming down at the rate of 8 15   m / s .

A kite is 120   m high and 130   m of string is out. If the kite is moving away horizontally at the rate of 39   m / sec , then the rate at which the string is being out, is

A. 12   m / sec .

B. 15   m / sec .

C. 18   m / sec .

D. 20   m / sec .

Correct Option is (B)

MHT CET 2023 10th May Morning Shift Mathematics - Application of Derivatives Question 17 English Explanation

Let ' P ' be the position of the kite and PR be the string.

Let QR = x and PR = y

By Pythagoras theorem,

PR 2 = PQ 2 + QR 2 y 2 = ( 120 ) 2 + x 2 .... (i)

Differentiating w.r.t. t, we get

2 y d y dt = 2 x d x dt y d y dt = x d x dt .... (ii)

Now, kite is moving away horizontally at the rate of 39   m / sec .

d x dt = 39   m / sec  From (i)  ( 130 ) 2 = ( 120 ) 2 + x 2 x 2 = 16900 14400 x 2 = 2500 x = 50

From (ii),

130 d y dt = 50 × 39 d y dt = 50 × 39 130 = 15   m / sec

A water tank has a shape of inverted right circular cone whose semi-vertical angle is tan 1 ( 1 2 ) . Water is poured into it at constant rate of 5 cubic meter/minute. The rate in meter/ minute at which level of water is rising, at the instant when depth of water in the tank is 10   m is

A. 1 5 π

B. 1 15 π

C. 2 π

D. 1 10 π

Correct Option is (A)

MHT CET 2023 9th May Evening Shift Mathematics - Application of Derivatives Question 26 English Explanation

Semi-vertical angle = tan 1 ( 1 2 )

Let α = tan 1 ( 1 2 )

tan α = 1 2 r h = 1 2 r = h 2

Given, dV dt = 5   m 3 / min .

V = Volume of cone

Volume of cone = 1 3 π r 2   h

V = 1 3 π ( h 2 ) 2 × h V = 1 12 π h 3

Differentiating w. r. t. t, we get dV dt = 1 12 × π × 3   h 2 × dh dt

5 = 1 4 π h 2 dh dt

dh dt = 20 π h 2

Now, h = 10 .... [Given]

dh dt = 20 π × ( 10 ) 2 dh dt = 1 5 π

Rate of change of water level is 1 5 π m / min .

An object is moving in the clockwise direction around the unit circle x 2 + y 2 = 1 . As it passes through the point ( 1 2 , 3 2 ) , its y -co-ordinate is decreasing at the rate of 3 units per sec. The rate at which the x -co-ordinate changes at this point is

A. 2 units/sec

B. 3 3 units/sec

C. 3 units /sec

D. 2 3 units /sec

Correct Option is (B)

2 x d x dt + 2 y d y dt = 0 2 x d x dt + 2 y ( 3 ) = 0 d x dt = 6 y 2 x d x dt = 3 y x d x dt | ( 1 2 , 3 2 ) = 3 × 3 2 1 2 = 3 3  units  / sec
