The correct answer is:
We know that, the volume of a sphere of radius is
It is given that, a spherical iron ball of radius is coated with a layer of ice of uniform thickness, let the thickness is '' , then volume of the ball is
On differentiating w.r.t. ' ', we get
where is time in .
It is given, the when is , then
[from Eq. ]
Negative sign indicates the thickness of ice layer decreases with time.
Thus, the thickness of ice layer decreases at a rate
Hence, option is correct.
