For each of the three circles shown above, the diameter of the smaller circle is equal to the radius of the larger. If the area of the largest circle is 52π square inches greater than the area of the shaded region, then what is the area of the shaded region in square inches?
A. 4π
B. 6π
C. 12π
D. 16π
E. 26π

alternate to an easier version herel

Solution


    • Let us assume that the radius of the smallest circle is r inches
      o So, the radius of the second largest circle = 2r inches
      o And the radius of the largest circle = 4r inches
We need to find the area of the shared region which is \( \pi *(2r)^2 - \pi *r^2 = 3 \pi *r^2 \) sq. inches
    • Now, area of the largest circle \(= \pi *(4r)^2 = 3 \pi *r^2 + 52 \pi ⟹ 13 \pi *r^2 = 52 \pi ⟹ \pi *r^2 = 4 \pi ⟹ 3 \pi *r^2 = 3*4\pi = 12 \pi\) sq. inches
Thus, the correct answer is Option C.
