  1. A \(30\)
  2. B \(12.5\)
  3. C \(10\)
  4. D \(25\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(25\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We have Total length \( = r + r + r\theta = 20\) \( \Rightarrow 2r + r\theta = 20\) \( \Rightarrow \theta = \frac{{20 - 2r}}{r}\) \(A = Area = \frac{\theta }{{2\pi }}\pi {r^2} = \frac{1}{2}{r^2}\theta = \frac{1}{2}{r^2}\left( {\frac{{20 - 2r}}{r}} \right)\) \(A = 10r - {r^2}\)…
