------------------
V = 4pi*r^3/3
dV/dt = 4pi*r^2*dr/dt = 100
dr/dt = 25/(pi*r^2) = 1/(4pi) cm/minute
===========================
This solution ignores physical properties such as changes in temperature and pressure of the gas.

Actually, this problem is DEFECTIVE.

The fact that that the air is being pumped into a spherical balloon at a rate of 100cm3/min,
physically DOES NOT MEAN that the rate of increasing the balloon volume is the same.

Thinking opposite means making a rude physical mistake.

Lowest possible score to the problem's composer for his (or her) unsatisfactory work.
