From the figure = $$(Area of the square/2) - 2*(Area of the Quarter circles of radius 7)$$
Area of the quarter circle =$$(Pi*r^2)/4$$
= $$14*14/2 - 2(Pi*7*7/4)$$

= $$14*7 - ((22/7)*7*7)/2$$
=$$14*7-11*7$$
= $$(14-11)*7$$
=21

Option A is correct

good question

given two semi circles of radius 7 so area of both would be
2 * pi * 49 /2 = 49 pi but since we are interested in finding the shaded area we need to so 49/2 * pi = ~77

area of rectangle 14*7 = 98
shaded region = 98-77 = 21 IMO A
