Would you care to elaborate your answer plz...

This Que should be tagged at least 800+... :( :roll: :|

C is the center of smaller circle.

Since AOB is an equilateral triangle, length of AB= 2R. Hence, ∠ACB =90°


Area of Green region= \(\frac{3}{4}(π*(√2R)^2) = \frac{9}{6}*π*R^2\)

Area of Brown region \(= \frac{1}{2}* (√2R)^2 = R^2\)

Area of Red region \(= \frac{1}{6}*(π*(2R)^2) - (\frac{√3}{4} *(2R)^2) = \frac{4}{6}*π*R^2 - √3 * R^2\)

Area of the common region

\(= \frac{9}{6}*π*R^2 + R^2 + \frac{4}{6}*π*R^2 - √3 * R^2 \)

= \((\frac{13π}{6} + 1 − √3)R^2\)

Two circles with radius 2R and √(2R) intersect each other at points A and B. The centers of both the circles are on the same side of AB. O is the center of the bigger circle and ∠AOB is 60°. What is the area of the common region between two circles?


A. \((√3 − π − 1)R^2\)

B. \((√3 − π)R^2\)

C. \((\frac{13π}{6} + 1 − √3)R^2\)

D. \((\frac{13π}{6} + √3)R^2\)

E. None of the above
