Q49

A spherical chocolate ball has a layer of ice-cream of uniform thickness around it. When the thickness of the ice-cream layer is 1 cm , the ice-cream melts at the rate of \(81 \mathrm{~cm}^3 / \mathrm{min}\) and the thickness of the ice-cream layer decreases at the rate of \(\frac{1}{4 \pi} \mathrm{~cm} / \mathrm{min}\). The surface area (in \(\mathrm{cm}^2\) ) of the chocolate ball (without the ice-cream layer) is :
