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.
