Solution:
Given rectangle PQRS of length and breadth .Area of the square .
OE is parallel to PS and QR in such a way that it splits into two squares with sides .
Area of the squares POES and QOER .
Area of triangle POE and QOE .
Area of the quadrant OPE and QOE with equal radius (square's side-to-side),
Area of shaded region= Areas of quadrant OPE and QOE with equal radius (equal to side of square)- Areas of triangle OPE and OQE
Area of the shaded region:
Hence, the area of the shaded region is .
Therefore, the correct option is 2.
