Option 1: 92.28

Option 2: 120

Option 3: 105.86

Correct Answer: 27.72


Solution : The angles of three sectors are taken as $\theta_1, \theta_2$, and $\theta_3$.
The area of a sector of a circle with radius $r$ and angle $\theta$ is given by $\frac{1}{2} r^2 \theta$, where $\theta$ is in radians.
The sum of the areas of three sectors = $\frac{1}{2} r^2 (\theta_1 +\theta_2+\theta_3)$
Also, the sum of all the angles of a triangle is $\pi$.
So, the sum of the areas of three sectors = $\frac{1}{2} r^2 (\pi )$
= $\frac{1}{2} \times 4.2^2 \times \frac{22}{7}$
= 27.72 cm 2
Hence, the correct answer is 27.72.
