$A$ ladder of length $13 \ m$ has one end resting against a vertical wall and the other on the ground. If the lower end moves away from the wall at a speed of $2 \ m/min$, then the speed (in $m/min$) at which the upper end falls when the bottom is $5 \ m$ away from the wall is

  • A
    $\frac{6}{5}$
  • B
    $\frac{12}{5}$
  • C
    $\frac{5}{6}$
  • D

The radius of a right circular cylinder increases at the rate of $0.1 \text{ cm/min}$,and the height decreases at the rate of $0.2 \text{ cm/min}$. The rate of change of the volume of the cylinder,in $\text{cm}^3/\text{min}$,when the radius is $2 \text{ cm}$ and the height is $3 \text{ cm}$ is

$A$ is a point on the circle with radius $8$ and centre at $O$. $A$ particle $P$ is moving on the circumference of the circle starting from $A$. $M$ is the foot of the perpendicular from $P$ on $OA$ and $\angle POM = \theta$.
