A semi-circle of diameter 1 unit sits at the top of a semi-circle of diameter2 units. The shaded region inside the smaller semi-cricle but outside the larger semi-circle a lune. The area of the lune is-

A

`pi/6-(sqrt3)/4`

B

`(sqrt3)/4-pi24`

C

`(sqrt3)/4-pi/12`

D

`(sqrt3)/4-pi/8`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B


`"Requireda area "=(pi(1/2)^(2))/2-((60^(@))/(360^(@))xxpi(1)^(2)-(sqrt3)/4xx1^(2))`
`=pi/8-(pi/6-(sqrt3)/4)=(sqrt3)/4-pi/24`
