Correct Answer: 27


Solution : Given: The perimeter of a sector of a circle = 24 cm
Radius = 3 cm
Perimeter of the sector = (2 × radius) + length of the arc
⇒ 24 = (2 × 3) + length of the arc
⇒ Length of the arc = 18
We know that,
Area of the sector $=\frac{1}{2}lr=\frac{1}{2}\times18\times3= 27$ cm 2
Hence, the correct answer is 27.
