B alone is enough to find the minor angle.

1/11 (2. pi.r) = (x° / 360) (2. pi.r)

=> x can be found

Question stem: $$\angle{AOB}$$=?

St1:- Major arc AB is greater than 180°.
Greatest measure of an arc of a circle is the measure of circumference, i.e, $$2\pi*r$$
Given, Major Arc $$AB>\pi$$
So,$$\pi$$<Arc AB <$$2\pi*r$$
No unique value of arc AB as measure of radius is not known and length of arc AB is a variant.
And measure of $$\angle{AOB}$$ is dependent on the measure of arc AB.
Therefore, insufficient.

St2:- Minor arc AB is 1/11 of the circumference
Or, Minor Arc AB=$$\frac{2\pi*r}{11}$$
$$\angle{AOB}$$ formed by minor arc AB=$$\frac{Arc_{AB}}{Radius}$$=$$\frac{\frac{2\pi*r}{11}}{r}=\frac{2\pi}{11}$$

Sufficient.

Ans. (B)

The question is asking a definite value.
1) The information that Major arc is greater than 180° does not give any information which can give definite information about the angle. Hence, insufficient.
2) The arc and angle it forms at the center are directly proportional. For 360°, circumference is 2$$\pi$$r. So, if arc vs circumference ratio is known, angle it is forming at center can be easily calculated. Hence, sufficient.
Hence, B is correct option.
