Detailed Solution

Given that, circle formed by a chord of length 5 cm subtending an angle 90° at the centre.
We know that, the area of circle is π r 2   .
Question Image A B 2 =O A 2 +O B 2   5 2 = r 2 + r 2   2 r 2 =25   r= 5 2  cm  
Calculating the area of ΔOAB  ,
Ar ΔOAB = 1 2 ×B×H    1 2 × 5 2 × 5 2    25 4 c m 2  
Calculating the area of circle,
π r 2 = 22 7 × 5 2 × 5 2   39.28c m 2  
Calculating the area of minor segment by subtracting the area of ΔOAB from the area of sector,
90° 360° ×π r 2 25 4 1 4 ×39.28 25 4    3.57c m 2  
To find the major segment, subtract the Area of minor segment from the Area of circle.
39.283.57=35.71  
Instruction To find the required difference, subtract the Area of minor segment from the Area of major segment.
35.713.57=32.14  
Therefore, difference of the area of two segments of circle is 32.14 cm2 .
Hence the correct option is 1.
