Correct Answer: $\pi x(x+\mathrm{d})$


Solution : Radius of circular region ($r$) = $\frac{d}{2}$
Width of path = $x$ m
External radius of path ($R$) = $\frac{d}{2} + x$
As we know,
Area of path = $π(R^2 - r^2)$
= $\pi[(\frac{d}{2} + x)^2 - (\frac{d}{2})^2]$
= $\pi [\frac{d^2}{4} + x^2+ dx - \frac{d^2}{4}]$
= $\pi [x^2 + dx]$
= $\pi x (x + d)$ m 2
Hence, the correct answer is $\pi x (x + d)$.
