Detailed Solution

Given that, the arcs drawn by taking vertices A, B and C of an equilateral triangle of side 10 cm to intersect the sides BC, CA and AB at their respective mid points D, E and F.
We know that, the area of sector is θ 360 ×π r 2   .
It is given that it is equilateral triangle so the angle will be 60° of all 3 sides.
And lets divide the triangle into 3 sectors AFE, BFD and CDE.
Calculating the area sector 1.
Area sector 1 = θ 360° π r 2     π×25 6    3.14×25 6  
Angle and radius is same so, the area of all three sectors will be same.
Calculating the area of all 3 sectors,
3×Ar  Sector 1 =3× 3.14×25 6    157×25    39.25c m 2  
Therefore, area of the shaded region is 39.25c m 2 .  
Hence the correct option is 1.
