Option 1 : 9π cm2

Let the radius of the bigger circle be R cm and radius of the smaller circle be r cm.

⇒ PQ = 2√(Rr)

⇒ 6 = 2√(Rr)

⇒ Rr = 9 cm

The radius of the semicircle made on diameter AB = R + r

⇒ Area of shaded portion = π/2(R + r)2 – Area of the semicircle of radius R – Area of the circle of radius r

⇒ Area of shaded portion = π/2(R + r)2 – π/2 × R2 – π/2 × r2

⇒ Area of shaded portion = π/2

⇒ Area of shaded portion = π/2 × 2Rr

∴ Area of shaded portion = 9π cm2
