Q. What is the area of the shaded region ?​

Preliminary Analysis of the question stem​
Area of shaded region = area of the sector – area of the triangle​
We know to calculate area of the sector, central angle and radius are required.

1) The ratio of length of arc ABC to circumference of the circle is 1:6​

Analysing the statement
Ratio of length of arc to cicumference of the circle = ratio of cental angle to complete angle = 1:6.
Central angle = 1/6 * 360 = 60

Deriving further​
AO = CO = radius and angle AOC = 60. Therefore triangle AOC is equilateral.​

As radius is unknown, area of the shaded region cannot be calculated.
Insufficient​

​2) The area of triangle AOC is 9√3​
Area of the sector is unknown.
Insufficient​

​Combining statement (1) and (2)
area of equilateral traingle = \(\frac{√3}{4}\) \(a^2\) = 9√3​
From this, radius will be calculated and hence sector area.
Sufficient​

C is correct​




You get it, perfect :)

I explained it without writing down the numbers :thumbup:

I have a basic issue here. We haven't been told that O denotes the center of the circle. If that condition hasn't been met, how can we say that C is the answer? Bunuel chetan2u could you please clarify?

Yes, a proper GMAT question would specify that O is the center of the circle.
