In a circle with center O , a chord A B is drawn such that ∠ A O B = 1 2 0 ∘ . Radius A O = 1 0 . A circle is drawn in the major arc such that it's radius is maximum, with center E, it touches the larger circle at point X as shown in figure.
The area of the shaded region can be expressed as c a π + b 3 for integers a , b , c with g cd ( a , c ) = 1 What is the value of a + b + c ?

I got the answer 437. You should re-check the manipulation of your last expression. Even Wolfram Alpha agrees with me - the right answer is supposed to be 437, since
1 0 0 π − ( 2 1 5 ) 2 π − 3 1 0 0 π + 2 5 3 = 1 2 1 2 5 π + 3 0 0 3

Exactly,but i've done a silly mistake,25√3/2 instead of 25√3 so, I came with 287😑
THANKS @mathh mathh
Yes, I just forgot to subtract 400 from 525.

I have updated the answer to 437. Can you update your solution too? You can edit it by clicking on the pencil in the top right corner.

@Akhilesh Agrawal – how did u get radius of circle with centre E as 15/2,please explain ?

@Shrish Shukla – You can look at it this way. We know that O D = 5 , and X O = 1 0 , since it is a radius of circle O. O D + X O is the diameter of circle E, so the radius is 2 1 0 + 5 = 2 1 5 .
I did the same :)
The problem of mental maths--did not calculate 25 as300/12,and got answer 275 less. My luck.......
Hey Akhilesh. I managed to get these pieces of information : (i) Area of Circle on centre O = 100π , (ii) Area of Sector OAB = 100π/3 , (iii) Area Triangle OAB = 25√3 and (iv) |OD| = 5 (using Cos 60 = |OD|/10) . I fail however to see how to deduce that the radius of circle on centre E is 15/2 !!!!!!!!! ???????? Help !
Aaargh i forgot to change the minus signaal to a plus...
The letter "PI" is consistently missing from the term (15/2)^2, but ends up in the answer somehow. Ed Gray
2 4 0 ∘ . So the area is
Consider the diagram above. The area of the shaded part is area of the large sector plus area of the triangle minus area of the small circle. The large sector has a central angle ofA S E C T O R = 3 6 0 2 4 0 π ( 1 0 2 ) = 3 2 0 0 π .
The area of the triangle is
A T R I A N G L E = 2 1 ( 1 0 2 ) ( sin 1 2 0 ) = 5 0 ( 2 3 ) = 2 5 3
Now we need to find h (see my figure) to know the diameter of the small circle. We have
cos 6 0 = 1 0 h
2 1 = 1 0 h
h = 5
The diameter of the small circle therefore is
d = 1 0 + 5 = 1 5
So the radius is
r = 2 1 5
So the area is
A C I R C L E = π ( 2 1 5 ) 2 = 4 2 2 5 π
Thus, the area of the shaded part is
A S H A D E D = 3 2 0 0 π + 2 5 3 − 4 2 2 5 π = 1 2 1 2 5 + 2 5 3 = 1 2 1 2 5 π + 3 0 0 3
Hence, the desired answer is
a n s w e r = 1 2 5 + 3 0 0 + 1 2 = 4 3 7

The shaded area is
Area_center O - Area_center E - Area of segment of circle
Area of segment is
Area of minor sector OAB − A ( △ O A B )
See that O A O D = 2 1
Thus radius of circle with center E is 1 0 × 4 3 = 2 1 5
Also,
area of sector OAB is 3 1 × area of whole circle = 3 1 0 0 π
And area of △ O A B = 2 O D × A B = 2 5 × 1 0 3 = 2 5 3
Hence asked area is
1 0 0 π − ( 2 1 5 ) 2 − 3 1 0 0 π + 2 5 3 = 1 2 1 2 5 π + 3 0 0 3
Giving answer 1 2 5 + 3 0 0 + 1 2 = 4 3 7
