$A$ stone is dropped in a quiet lake and it is observed that waves move in circles. If the radius of a circular wave increases at the rate of $2 \text{ cm/sec}$, then the rate of increase in its area at the instant when its radius is $10 \text{ cm}$, is in $\text{cm}^2\text{/sec}$: (in $\pi$)

$A$ particle moves along the curve $y=x^2+2x$. Then, the point on the curve such that the $x$ and $y$ coordinates of the particle change with the same rate is

Consider an expanding sphere of instantaneous radius $R$ whose total mass remains constant. The expansion is such that the instantaneous density $\rho$ remains uniform throughout the volume. The rate of fractional change in density $\left(\frac{1}{\rho} \frac{d \rho}{dt}\right)$ is constant. The velocity $v$ of any point on the surface of the expanding sphere is proportional to

The vertical angle of a right circular cone is $60^{\circ}$. If water is being poured into the cone at the rate of $\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \text{ m}^3/\text{min}$, then the rate $(\text{m/min})$ at which the radius of the water level is increasing when the height of the water level is $3 \text{ m}$ is
