Correct Answer: 13.75 cm 2


Solution :
Let AOB be the sector with O as the centre.
Given: Radius = r = 5 cm
Perimeter of sector = 15.5 cm
So, OA + AB + OB = 15.5
⇒ 5 + 5 + AB = 15.5
⇒ AB = 5.5 cm = $l$
Area of sector = $\frac{1}{2}\times r \times l$
$=\frac{1}{2}\times 5 \times 5.5$
$=13.75$ cm 2
Hence, the correct answer is 13.75 cm 2 .
