Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation
r = \(\frac{2}{3}\)R

∴R = \(\frac{3}{3}\)R

Area of small circle = πr2

= π(\(\frac{2R}{3}\))2

Area of the big circle πr2 = π\(\frac{(3R)^2}{3}\)

Area of shaded portion = π(\(\frac{3R}{3}\))2 - π(\(\frac{2R}{3}\))2

= π[(\(\frac{3R}{3}\))2 - (\(\frac{2R}{3}\))2]

= π[(\(\frac{3R}{3}) + (\frac{2R}{3}) - (\frac{3R}{3}\)) - (\(\frac{2R}{3}\))]

= π[(\(\frac{5R}{3}\)) (\(\frac{R}{3}\))]

= π x \(\frac{5R}{3}\) x \(\frac{R}{3}\)

= 5/9πR2
