AD is the diameter of a circle with area 707 m2 and AB = BC = CD as shown in the figure above. All curves inside the circles are semicircles with their diameters on AD. What is the cost of leveling the shaded region at the rate of Rs 63 per square meter?

AD is the diameter of a circle with area 707 m2 and AB = BC = CD as shown in the figure above. All curves inside the circles are semicircles with their diameters on AD. What is the cost of leveling the shaded region at the rate of Rs 63 per square meter? Correct Answer Rs 14,847

Let the diameter of the circle be d

AB = BC = CD = d/3

Area of shaded region = 2 × (Area of semicircle with diameter AC - Area of semicircle with diameter AB)

⇒ 2 × ½ ×              

⇒ πd2/12 = 1/3 × (πd2/4)

⇒ 1/3 × Area of the circle = 1/3 × 707

∴ Cost of leveling = 63 × 707/3 = Rs. 14, 847
