Solution
The correct option is C3083−49√3cm2 Giventhat−thecentralangle∠AOBofasector=60oandtheradius=14cm.Tofindout−theareaofthecorrespondingminorsegment.Solution−InΔAOBwehaveOA=OB.∴∠OAB=∠OBA⟹∠OAB+∠OBA=2∠OABor2∠OBA.Now∠AOB=60o.∴2∠OAB=180o−60o⟹∠OAB=60o=∠OBA.(theanglesumpropertyoftriangles).SoΔAOBisequilateralonewithsidea=14cm.∴ar.ΔAOB=√34×a2=√34×142cm2=49√3cm2.Alsoar.sector=θ360o×π×r2whenθisthecentralangleandr=radiusofthesector=60o360o×227×142cm2=3083cm2.Nowar.minorsegment=ar.sector−ar.Δ=3083cm2−49√3cm2=(3083−49√3)cm2.Ans−OptionD.
