    The given figure shows two circles such that the radius of the small shaded circle is\[\frac{1}{3}\]. times the radius of the big circle. A dart is thrown randomly towards the circle. Find the probability that the dart hits the shaded target.

    A)  \[\frac{1}{8}\]                                                  

    B)  \[\frac{3}{8}\]  

    C)  \[\frac{7}{8}\]                                  

    D)         \[\frac{1}{4}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     Area of big circle \[=S=\pi {{r}^{2}}\] Area of shaded circle,                   \[A=\pi {{\left( \frac{1}{3}r \right)}^{2}}=\frac{\pi {{r}^{2}}}{9}\] \[\therefore \]\[P(A)=\frac{n(A)}{n(S)}=\frac{\frac{\pi }{9}{{r}^{2}}}{\pi {{r}^{2}}}=\frac{1}{9}\]
