    The length of the minute hand of a clock is \[\sqrt{21}\,cm.\]Find the area swept by the minute hand from \[\text{9 a}.\text{m}.\] to \[\text{9}.\text{1}0\text{ a}.\text{m}.\]

    A) \[\text{22 c}{{\text{m}}^{2}}\]

    B) \[\text{11 c}{{\text{m}}^{2}}\]

    C) \[\text{45 c}{{\text{m}}^{2}}\]

    D) \[\text{31 c}{{\text{m}}^{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] Lenth of the minute hand = radius of the circle \[(r)=\sqrt{21}\,cm\]
    Angle swept by minute hand in 60 minutes \[=360{}^\circ \]
    \[\therefore \]Angle swept by minute hand in 10 minutes
    \[=\frac{360{}^\circ }{60}\times 10=60{}^\circ \]
    Now area of sector with \[r=\sqrt{21}\,cm\]and \[\theta =60{}^\circ \] is
    \[\frac{\theta }{360{}^\circ }\times \pi {{r}^{2}}=\frac{60{}^\circ }{360{}^\circ }\times \frac{22}{7}\times {{(\sqrt{21})}^{2}}\]
    \[=\frac{1}{6}\times \frac{22}{7}\times 21=11c{{m}^{2}}\]
    Hence, the area swept by the minute hand in 10 minutes is \[11c{{m}^{2}}\].
