Detailed Solution

Given that, at any instant of time 
Rate of change in volume w.r.t. time = rate of change in surface area w.r.t. time
i.e.,    dvdt=dsdt       ............(i)
Volume of sphere of radius  (r) ,  V=43πr3
Differentiating w.r.t, ‘t’, we get
 dvdt=ddt(43πr3)=43πddt(r3) dvdt=43π(3r2)drdt  or  dvdt=4πr2drdt      ..........(ii)
Surface area of sphere of radius (r),
 S=4πr2
Differentiating w.r.t. ‘t’, we get
 dsdt=ddt(4πr2)=4πddt(r2)
    dsdt=8πrdrdt        ...............(iii)
Putting the values from equation (ii) and (iii) in equation (i), we get
 4πr2drdt=8πrdrdtor  r=2
