    In the given figure three circles of radius 2 cm touch one another externally. These circles are circumscribed by a circle of radius R cm. Find the value of R and the area of the shaded region in terms of \[\pi \]and \[\sqrt{3}\].

    A)  \[\left\{ \frac{5\pi }{3}(5\sqrt{3}+1)-5\sqrt{3} \right\}\]            

    B)  \[\left\{ \frac{4\pi }{2}(4\sqrt{2}+1)-4\sqrt{2} \right\}\]

    C)  \[\left\{ \frac{4\pi }{3}(4\sqrt{3}+1)-4\sqrt{2} \right\}\]

    D)           \[\left\{ \frac{4\pi }{3}(4\sqrt{3}+1)-4\sqrt{3} \right\}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                        Clearly, \[\Delta ABC\] is an equilateral triangle of side 4 cm.               In \[\Delta BDO,\]we have   \[\cos \,\angle OBD=\frac{BD}{OB}\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[\cos {{30}^{o}}=\frac{2}{OB}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}=\frac{2}{OB}\Rightarrow \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}=\frac{2}{OB}\Rightarrow OB=\frac{4}{\sqrt{3}}\] \[\therefore \] \[OP=OB+BP\Rightarrow R\left( \frac{4}{\sqrt{3}}+2 \right)cm\] Area of the shaded region = Area of the larger circle of radius \[R-3\times \]Area of a smaller circle of radius \[2\text{ }cm+3\](Area of a sector of angle \[{{60}^{o}}\] in a circle of radius 2 cm) - {Area of \[\Delta \text{ }ABC-3\](Area of sector of angle \[{{60}^{o}}\] in a circle of radius 2 cm)} \[\Rightarrow \] Area of the shaded region = Area of the larger circle of radius \[R-3\text{ }x\]Area of smaller circle of radius \[2\text{ }cm+6\times \]Area of a sector of angle \[{{60}^{o}}\]in a circle of radius \[2\text{ }cm-\]Area of \[\Delta ABC\] \[=\left\{ \begin{align}   & \pi {{\left( \frac{4}{\sqrt{3}}+2 \right)}^{2}}-3\times \pi \times {{2}^{2}}+6\times  \\  & \left( \frac{60}{360}\times \pi \times {{2}^{2}} \right)-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\times {{4}^{2}} \\ \end{align} \right\}c{{m}^{2}}\] \[=\left\{ \pi \left( \frac{16}{3}+4+\frac{16}{\sqrt{3}} \right)-12\pi +4\pi -4\sqrt{3} \right\}c{{m}^{2}}\] \[=\left\{ \pi \left( \frac{4}{3}+\frac{16}{\sqrt{3}} \right)-4\sqrt{3} \right\}c{{m}^{2}}\] \[=\left\{ \frac{4\pi }{3}(4\sqrt{3}+1)-4\sqrt{3} \right\}c{{m}^{2}}\]
