Let the angle formed by quadrilateral at point O= x

$$x^{\circ}$$+$$110^{\circ}$$+$$70^{\circ}$$+$$120^{\circ}$$= $$360^{\circ}$$

x+300= 360; x= 360-300= $$60^{\circ}$$

Angle formed by point O in the shaded region= 360-x= 360-60= $$300^{\circ}$$

Area of shaded region= $$\frac{300}{360}$$*$$\pi$$*$$(6)^2$$= 30$$\pi$$

area of sector = #/360 x pi r^2 ( # is angle of sector at centre)

#= 360 - 300 = 60 ( as per diagram) = 1/6 pi r^2 = 36/6 = 6 pi

Area of sector = 6 pi

Area of cirlce = pi x 6 x6 = 36 pi

Shaded area = 36-6 pi = 30 pi

Straight IMO is E as above quadrilateral 4th side is 360-(110+120+70)=60 and rest of the angle is 360-60=300. so area of shaded region is 300*pie*6^2/360= 30pie which is option E
*Inner angle of circle is 360 and sum of all the angles in quadrilateral is also 360.
