Solution

The correct option is A
Area of circle - Area of minor sector

Area of the major sector is found by subtracting the area of the minor sector from the area of the circle.

Area of major sector
$= (π \times r^{2}) - \frac{π \times r^{2} θ}{360^{\circ}}$ where r is the radius and $θ$ is the central angle.
