Explanation
Hint:Recall the Area of Circle and Semicircle
Step -1: Find the area of the semicircle.
From the figure we can observe that both the semicircles have same radius.
i.e.r=4cm
Area of semicircle =πr22
⇒ Area of semicircle =π(4)22
⇒ Area of semicircle =3.14×162=25.12cm2
Since, both the semicircles are same.
∴ Area of not shaded part =2× (Area of semicircle)
=2×25.12cm2
=50.24cm2
Step -2: Find area of circle having radius as 8cm.
Area of circle (A) =πr2
⇒A=3.14×8×8
⇒A=200.96cm2
Step -3: Find area of shaded part.
Area of shaded part=(Area of circle)−(Area of two semicircles)
⇒Area of shaded part =200.96−50.24
⇒Area of shaded part =150.72cm2
Hence, the area of shaded portion is 150.72sq.cm.
So, the correct option is A.
