    O is the centre of a circle of radius\[\text{5 cm}\]. The chord AB subtends an angle \[60{}^\circ \] at the centre. Area of the shaded portion is equal to (approximately):

    A) \[50c{{m}^{2}}\]

    B) \[62.78\,c{{m}^{2}}\]

    C) \[49.88\,c{{m}^{2}}\]

    D) \[67.67\,c{{m}^{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] \[\angle AOB=60{}^\circ \]
    and       \[OA=OB\]  (radii)
    \[\therefore \,\,\Delta AOB\] is an equilateral triangle
    Area of triangle \[=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\times {{5}^{2}}=\frac{25\sqrt{3}}{4}c{{m}^{2}}\]
    Area of shaded region
                \[=\text{Area of circle}-\text{Area of triangle}\]
                \[=\left( \frac{22}{7}\times 5\times 5-\frac{25\sqrt{3}}{4} \right)c{{m}^{2}}\]
                \[=67.67c{{m}^{2}}\]
