total 360 degrees are included in the circle, and in the figure non-shaded region is \(3*90 = 270 degrees\)
Area of the shaded region = 90 degrees
Area of the sector = \((x/360)*Pi*r^2\)
= \((90/360)*Pi*8*8\) --- radius given as 8
= \(16*PI\)
Option E is correct

r = 8,
Area of shaded region will be 3 * \(\frac{theta}{360}\)* π \(r^2\) --------------------(1)
At the center of a circle, sum of the angles = \(360^o\)
Sum of remaining angles will be 360 - 270 = 90
So each shaded region will have an angle as\(\frac{90}{3}\)
Substituting this value in (1)
=\(\frac{3}{3}\)* \(\frac{90}{360}\)* π \(8^2\)
=16π
Answer E
