From 1:

Diameter of the smaller circle becomes the radius of the larger circle.

We can determine the area of the shaded region.
Area of larger circle-Area of smaller circle.
Sufficient.

From 2:

Circumference = 2*pi*r = 10Pi.
r = 5 of bigger circle.
Which is the diameter of the smaller circle.
Sufficient.

D is the answer.

To know the shaded area, we need to know the radius of any one circle.

Both statements give that info individually.

Answer is D

Thank you = Kudos

1. Radius of smaller circle = 2.5
Radius of larger circle = 5

Area of shaded region = Area of larger circle - Area of smaller circle


2. 2* pie * radius = 10 pie
Radius of larger circle = 5
Radius of smaller circle = 2.5

Area of shaded region = Area of larger circle - Area of smaller circle


Answer : D

Area of shaded region = area of big circle - area of small circle

The diameter of the small circle is half that of the bigger one.

(1) Diameter of small circle is 5 > area of both circles can be calculated [SUFFICIENT]

(2) Circumference of the larger circle is is 10 π > Radii of both circles can be calculated and then areas too [SUFFICIENT]

Hi @bunuel,trust you are fine. Could you please help me clarify when exactly to trust the diagram on a DS question. In this particular question, I only assumed that the centre of the larger circle lies on the smaller circles in the figure and I deduced 2 different scenarios.
1st, where the figure is as in the given question and 2nd, One where the other end of the smaller circle doesn't not touch the arc of the larger circle. Pls help me, I'm quite confused here.

Hi Kem12

The question specifically states 'as shown'. I hope that answers your question.
