• B. Orange – Minor sector ,Green – Major Sector
• C. Green – Major arc ,Orange – Minor arc
• D. Green – Minor arc ,Orange – Major arc

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Green – Major Sector, Orange – Minor Sector

In the given figure, the region shaded in green is bounded by an arc (AB) and two radii (OA and OB). Thus it is called a 'sector'.

Since the region shaded in green occupies a greater area compared to the region which is shaded in orange, thus it is the major sector.
