wrong que

Question:
Three coins of equal radius (each 1 cm.) are placed on a table in such a way that they touch each other. Find the area enclosed by the coins.
Options:
A) \(\left ( \cfrac {\pi}{2}-\sqrt[]{3} \right )\)cm2
B) \(\left ( 2\sqrt[]{3} - \cfrac {\pi}{2}\right )\)cm2
C) \(\left ( 3\sqrt[]{3} - \cfrac {\pi}{2}\right )\)cm2
D) \(\left ( \sqrt[]{3} - \cfrac {\pi}{2}\right )\)cm2
Solution:
Ans: (d)


Required area 

= Area of \(\Delta\)ABC – 3\(\pi\) (Area of sector ADE)

=  \(\sqrt{3}-\cfrac{3\pi (1)^2 \times 60^o}{360^o}\)    =  \(\left ( \sqrt{3}-\cfrac {\pi}{2} \right )\) cm2
