Question

In figure the shaded region indicates.

• A. Major segment
• B. Minor sector
• C. Minor segment
• D. Major sector

Answer 1

The correct option is B Minor sector

In the given figure, the shaded region is a region formed by an arc $ABC$ which is a minor arc.

In the given circle, there are two sectors one is minor and another is major.

The area of shaded part is less than the area of un-shaded part.

Now, the portion enclosed by two radii and an arc is called as sector. Also, the smaller area is known as minor sector and larger area is known as major sector.

So, the shaded part represents the minor sector.

Hence, option B is correct.
