The figure below shows a circle divided into 3 equal parts. The shaded region corresponds to 23 of the circle. If the unshaded region corresponds to a3 of the circle. Then, the value of 'a' is
Since the entire circle is divided into 3 equal parts, each part represents 13 of the circle.
Since there are two shaded parts, the shaded region corresponds to 23 of the circle.
There is only one part which is unshaded and hence this corresponds to 13 of the circle.
Therefore a = 1.
