    ∠AOC = ∠BOD = 180° – 150° = 30°

    ∴ Area of region x =
    60
    × πr²
    360

    =
    1
    × πr² sq. cm.
    6

    Correct Option: C


    ∠AOC = ∠BOD = 180° – 150° = 30°

    ∴ Area of region x =
    60
    × πr²
    360

    w = πy² = Area of larger circle
    w' = πy² – πx²
    ⇒ w' = w – πx²
    ⇒ πx² =

    πx²
    =
    w – w'
    πy²w

    = 1 -

    w

    = √1 -
    w'
    w

    Correct Option: A

    w = πy² = Area of larger circle
    w' = πy² – πx²
    ⇒ w' = w – πx²
    ⇒ πx² =

    πx²
    =
    w – w'
    πy²w

    = 1 -

    Let the length of arc AB be y units and radius of circle be r units.
    ∠AOB = x radians

    ∴ θ =
    l
    r

    ⇒ x =
    y
    ......(i)

    Again area of sector AOB
    =
    θ
    × πr² =

    xr²
    = x²r²

    R1 = 68 cm.
    R2 = 22 cm.
    Area of the shaded region
    = π(R1² – R2²)
    = π(R1 + R2) (R1 – R2)
    = π (68 + 22) (68 – 22)
    = π × 90 × 46 = 4140p sq. cm.

    Correct Option: A


    R1 = 68 cm.
    R2 = 22 cm.
    Area of the shaded region
    = π(R1² – R2²)
    = π(R1 + R2) (R1 – R2)
    = π (68 + 22) (68 – 22)
    = π × 90 × 46 = 4140p sq. cm.
