Area of circle: \(πr^2\)
\(π(1)^2\)
\(π\)
\(OA = OC = OB\) as they are all radii.
Drawing in line OB will therefore create 2 isosceles triangles. This also means that angles \(OCB = OAB = OBC = OBA\).
Which means that \(angle ABC = 60'\), and because of Central Angle Theorem \(angle AOC = 120'\).
As \(AOC\) is 120', it means that \(arc AOC\) is \(\frac{ 1}{3}\) of the circle.
Thus the area of minor sector \( AOC = \frac{π}{3}\)

Total angle of a circle =360
=>120 +120 +x = 360
=>x= 120
Area of the sector =x/360 * pie * 1^2
=>1/3 * pie
Therefore IMO B
