    Radius of circle =
    a
    2√3

    =
    24
    = 4√3 cm
    2√3

    ∴ Area of circle = π (4√3
    = 48π sq. cm.
    = 48 ×

    = 150.86 sq. cm.
    Area of ∆ABC =
    3
    × 24 × 24 sq. cm
    4

    = 144 × 1.732
    = 249.408 sq. cm.
    ∴ Area of the shaded region
    = (249.408 – 150.86) sq. cm.
    = 98.548 sq. cm.

    Correct Option: D

    In-radius =
    Area
    Semi - perimeter

    ⇒ 4 =
    34
    Semi - perimeter

    ⇒ Semi - perimeter =
    34
    = 8.5
    4

    ∴ Perimeter of triangle = (8.5 × 2) cm = 17 cm

    Correct Option: B

    In-radius =
    Area
    Semi - perimeter

    ⇒ 4 =
    34
    Semi - perimeter

    ⇒ Semi - perimeter =

    = 8.5
    4

    ∴ Perimeter of triangle = (8.5 × 2) cm = 17 cm

    AP is the median at BC.
    ∴ Area of ∆ABP = Area of ∆APC
    Again, 2AQ = QB

    ∴ Area of ∆APQ =
    1
    Area of ∆ABP
    3

    ∴ Area of ∆APQ =
    1
    Area of ∆ABC
    6

    =

    According to the question,
    π × 12² = 2πr²
    ⇒ 2r² = 12 × 12

    ⇒ r² =
    12 × 12
    = 72
    2

    ⇒ r = √72 = 6√2 cm.

    Correct Option: C


    According to the question,
    π × 12² = 2πr²
    ⇒ 2r² = 12 × 12

    ⇒ r² =
    12 × 12
    = 72
    2

    ⇒ r = √72 = 6√2 cm.
