Question

The shaded region consists of a chord and the arcs of the circle. Which of the following options is correct?

• A. Yellow – Major segment, Purple – Minor segment
• B. Purple – Major segment, Yellow – Minor segment
• C. Either A or B
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Yellow – Major segment, Purple – Minor segment

The shaded region consists of a chord and the arcs of the circle. Hence they are segments.

The region in the yellow has the major arc, so it is the major segment and the purple region consists of the minor arc, so it is the minor segment.
Also, the region in yellow has the centre of the circle.
