    To warn ships for underwater rocks, alight house spreads a red coloured light over a sector of angle \[80{}^\circ \] to a distance of 16.5 km. Then, the area of the sea over which the ships are warned is [take \[\pi =3.14\]]

    A) \[189.97k{{m}^{2}}\]

    B) \[1899.7k{{m}^{2}}\]

    C) \[1709.73\text{ }k{{m}^{2}}\]

    D) None of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Given, sector angle, \[\theta =80{}^\circ \] and distance or radius, \[r=16.5\text{ }km\] \[\therefore \] Area of sector \[=\frac{\theta }{360{}^\circ }\times \pi {{r}^{2}}\] \[=\frac{80{}^\circ }{360{}^\circ }\times 3.14\times {{\left( 16.5 \right)}^{2}}\] \[=\frac{2\times 3.14\times 272.25}{9}\] \[=\frac{1709.73}{9}=189.97k{{m}^{2}}\] which is the required area of the sea over which the ships are warned.
