The correct answer is:
$10 \pi$
Let $A=\pi \mathrm{r}^2$ be area of metalic circular plate of $r=50 \mathrm{~cm}$.
Also, given $\frac{d r}{d t}=1 \mathrm{~mm}=\frac{1}{10} \mathrm{~cm}$

$$
\begin{aligned}
& \therefore A=\pi r^2 \\
& \Rightarrow \frac{d A}{d t}=2 \pi r \frac{d r}{d t}=2 \pi \cdot 50 \cdot \frac{1}{10}=10 \pi
\end{aligned}
$$
Hence, area of plate increases in $10 \pi \mathrm{cm}^2 /$ hour.
