Correct Answer: $36\pi$ sq. units


Solution :

The distance between A and B is the sum of their radii = 8 + 4 = 12 units
The diameter AB of the new circle is 12 units.
The radius of the new circle is 6 units.
The area of a circle,
$= \pi r^2=\pi(6^2)=36\pi$ sq. units
Hence, the correct answer is $36\pi$ sq. units.
