If two circles overlap each other, what is the area of that overlap?
(1) The edge of each circle intersects the center of the other circle.
(2) The sum of the circumferences of the two circles is 12π.

ST 1 : both circles are of same radius and same size.
i.e. r1 = r2
but we don't know the values of r1 OR r2.
so ST 1 is insufficient.
ST 2: 2π(r1 + r2) = 12π
i.e. (r1+r2) = 6
but we don't know the values of r1 OR r2
so ST 2 is insufficient.
now , combining ST 1 & 2
we get r1= 3 ; r2 =3
so we can get the required area [ which is (1/3).π.3^2 +(1/3).π.3^2 - 2. (√3/4) .3^2 ]
so correct answer is C

How did you arrive at this formula ? the formula should have 1/6 *pi * (3)^2 and not 1/3 *pi * (3)^2
