Detailed Solution

     We have to find the perimeter of the shaded region, if in the given figure, PSR, RTQ and PAQ are three semicircles of diameter 10 cm, 3 cm and 7cm respectively.
Calculating the perimeter of the shaded region,
Length of the arc = 1 2 ×2πr  
Perimeter of shaded region = (Length of the arc PAQ) + (Length of the arc PSR) + (Length of the arc RTQ)  Suppose r1,r2,r3,r4 are the radius of arcs PAQ, PSR and RTQ respectively.
Question Image Solving further,
= 7 2 π+ 3 2 π+5π =5π+5π =10π =31.4 cm  
So, the perimeter of the shaded region is 31.4cm.  
Therefore, option 1 is correct.
