The smaller area enclosed by the curve y=∣x∣y = |x| and the circle (x−a)2+y2=a2(x-a)^2 + y^2 = a^2 is:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

Circle is centered at (a,0)(a, 0) with radius aa. Line y=xy = x meets circle at (0,0)(0,0) and (a,a)(a, a), subtending 9090 degrees at center. Sector area = πa24\frac{\pi a^2}{4}, triangle area = a22\frac{a^2}{2}. Smaller (segment) area = πa24−a22=a24(π−2)\frac{\pi a^2}{4} - \frac{a^2}{2} = \frac{a^2}{4}(\pi - 2).
