Answer:
Correct Answer: 63.$\frac{d r}{d t}=-\lambda$
Solution:
- Since, rate of change of volume $\propto$ surface area
$$ \begin{array}{lll} \Rightarrow & \frac{d V}{d t} & \propto SA \\ \Rightarrow & & 4 \pi r^{2} \cdot \frac{d r}{d t}=-\lambda 4 \pi r^{2} \end{array} $$
$\frac{d r}{d t}=-\lambda$ is required differential equation.
