A spherical ball has a variable diameter \(\frac{5}{2}(3x+1).\) The rate of change of its volume w.r.t. x, when \(x=1\), is :
(A) \(225\pi\)
(B) \(300\pi\)
(C) \(375\pi\)
(D) \(125\pi\)
Explanation
The diameter of the spherical ball is given by $D = \frac{5}{2}(3x+1)$.
The radius of the ball is $r = \frac{D}{2} = \frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{5}{2}(3x+1) = \frac{5}{4}(3x+1)$.

The volume of a sphere is $V = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3$.
Substitute the expression for $r$:
$V = \frac{4}{3}\pi \left(\frac{5}{4}(3x+1)\right)^3$
$V = \frac{4}{3}\pi \left(\frac{125}{64}(3x+1)^3\right)$
$V = \frac{125\pi}{48}(3x+1)^3$

To find the rate of change of its volume with respect to $x$, we differentiate $V$ with respect to $x$:
$\frac{dV}{dx} = \frac{d}{dx}\left(\frac{125\pi}{48}(3x+1)^3\right)$
$\frac{dV}{dx} = \frac{125\pi}{48} \cdot 3(3x+1)^{3-1} \cdot \frac{d}{dx}(3x+1)$
$\frac{dV}{dx} = \frac{125\pi}{48} \cdot 3(3x+1)^2 \cdot 3$
$\frac{dV}{dx} = \frac{125\pi \cdot 9}{48}(3x+1)^2$
$\frac{dV}{dx} = \frac{125\pi \cdot 3}{16}(3x+1)^2$
$\frac{dV}{dx} = \frac{375\pi}{16}(3x+1)^2$

Now, we evaluate this rate of change when $x=1$:
$\left.\frac{dV}{dx}\right|_{x=1} = \frac{375\pi}{16}(3(1)+1)^2$
$\left.\frac{dV}{dx}\right|_{x=1} = \frac{375\pi}{16}(4)^2$
$\left.\frac{dV}{dx}\right|_{x=1} = \frac{375\pi}{16} \cdot 16$
$\left.\frac{dV}{dx}\right|_{x=1} = 375\pi$

The final answer is $\boxed{\text{375\pi}}$.

Step-by-Step Solution

Let the diameter of the spherical ball be \(d\). Given, \(d = \frac{5}{2}(3x+1)\). Therefore, the radius \(r\) is:

\(r = \frac{d}{2} = \frac{5}{4}(3x+1)\)

The volume \(V\) of the spherical ball is given by:

\(V = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3 = \frac{4}{3}\pi \left(\frac{5}{4}(3x+1)\right)^3 = \frac{4}{3}\pi \left(\frac{125}{64}(3x+1)^3\right) = \frac{125\pi}{48}(3x+1)^3\)

Now, we need to find the rate of change of volume with respect to \(x\), which is \(\frac{dV}{dx}\):

\(\frac{dV}{dx} = \frac{125\pi}{48} \cdot 3(3x+1)^2 \cdot 3 = \frac{125\pi}{16}(3x+1)^2 \cdot 3 = \frac{375\pi}{16}(3x+1)^2\)

We need to find the rate of change when \(x=1\):

\(\frac{dV}{dx}\Big|_{x=1} = \frac{375\pi}{16}(3(1)+1)^2 = \frac{375\pi}{16}(4)^2 = \frac{375\pi}{16} \cdot 16 = 375\pi\)

Correct Answer: \(375\pi\)

Pedagogical Audit
Bloom's Analysis: This is an APPLY question because the student needs to apply the formulas for the volume of a sphere and differentiation to find the rate of change.
Knowledge Dimension: PROCEDURAL
Justification: The question requires the student to follow a specific procedure: find the radius, calculate the volume, differentiate the volume with respect to x, and then evaluate the derivative at x=1.
Syllabus Audit: In the context of CBSE Class 12, this is classified as COMPETENCY. The question requires application of calculus concepts (differentiation) to a real-world geometric problem, assessing the student's ability to apply learned knowledge.
