Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\dfrac{\pi}{3}\ sq\ units\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The given circle is \(x^2 + y^2 = 4\), which has its center at the origin \((0,0)\) and radius \(r = 2\). The given line is \(x = \sqrt{3}y\), which can be rewritten as \(y = \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{3}}x\). The angle made by this line with the positive \(x\)-axis is…
