Option 1: $400 \pi-250 \sqrt{3} \mathrm{~cm}^2$

Option 2: $300 \pi-150 \sqrt{3} \mathrm{~cm}^2$

Option 3: $500 \pi-350 \sqrt{3} \mathrm{~cm}^2$

Option 4: $600 \pi-450 \sqrt{3} \mathrm{~cm}^2$

Correct Answer: $600 \pi-450 \sqrt{3} \mathrm{~cm}^2$


Solution :
OA = O’A = OB = OB’ = OO’ = 30 cm
In triangle AOO’,
OA = O’A = OO’ = 30 cm ( As all three sides of AOO' are equal, so it is an equilateral triangle)
⇒ $∠AOO’ = 60°$
⇒ $∠AOB = 120°$
In triangle ACO,
$AC^2 = OA^2 - OC^2 =30^2-15^2= 900 - 225$
⇒ $AC^2 = 675$
⇒ $AC = 15\sqrt3$
So, $AB = 30\sqrt3$
Area of AO’BA = Area of sector AO’BO $-$ Area of triangle AOB =
$=\frac{\pi(30)^2}{3}-\frac{1}{2}\times 30\sqrt3\times 15$
$=\frac{900π}{3}- 225\sqrt3$
$=300π - 225\sqrt3$
$\therefore$ Area of intersecting region = 2(Area of AO’BA)
$=600π - 450\sqrt3$ cm 2
Hence, the correct answer is $600π - 450\sqrt3$ cm 2 .
