    In the given figure, RSTV is a square inscribed in a circle with centre O and radius r. The total area of the shaded region is ___,

    A)  \[{{\text{r}}^{2}}(\pi -2)\]             

    B)  \[\text{2}{{\text{r}}^{2}}(2-\pi )\] 

    C)  \[\pi \text{(}{{\text{r}}^{2}}-2)\]   

    D)         \[8{{r}^{2}}-8r\]    

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Radius of circle \[=r\therefore Area=\pi {{r}^{2}}\] Now, diameter of circle is equal to diagonal of square RSTV So, length of diagonal \[=2r\] \[\Rightarrow \text{Side of the square=}\frac{2r}{\sqrt{2}}=\sqrt{2}r\] \[\therefore \]Area of square \[={{(side)}^{2}}={{(\sqrt{2}r)}^{2}}=2{{r}^{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]Area of shaded part \[=\pi {{r}^{2}}-2{{r}^{2}}=(\pi -2){{r}^{2}}\]
