    Question

    A and B are circles of unit radius. Their centres are marked by ×. The area of the shaded region is (hint: area of an equilateral triangle of unit side length is )

    A.

    2π332\frac{2\pi}{3} - \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}​​

    B.

    (234π)\left( \frac{2\sqrt{3}}{4} - \pi \right)​​

    C.

    2π3+32\frac{2\pi}{3} + \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}​​

    D.

    2π334\frac{2\pi}{3} - \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}​​

    Correct option is A

    Given  :
     The two circles have Radius r=1.
    Distance between centers =1 (which is the same as the radius)
    Formula Used: 
    2R2R^2(π334)\left( \frac{\pi}{3} - \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} \right)​​​
    Solution : 
    The total shaded area is the segment area:
    Total Area = 2×12(π334)=2π3322 \times 1^{2} \left( \frac{\pi}{3} - \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} \right) = \frac{2\pi}{3} - \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}
    Thus the correct answer is option (A) 2π332 \frac{2\pi}{3} - \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}
