The line y=xy = x, partition the area of the circle (x−1)2+y2=1(x-1)^2 + y^2 = 1, into two segments. The area of the major segment is

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 4

Circle has centre (1,0)(1,0), radius 1. Line y=xy=x passes through (0,0)(0,0) and (1,1)(1,1), both on the circle. The chord subtends a 90∘90^\circ angle at the centre. Minor segment area == sector area −- triangle area =π4−12= \frac{\pi}{4} - \frac{1}{2}. Major segment area =π(1)2−(π4−12)=3π4+12= \pi(1)^2 - (\frac{\pi}{4} - \frac{1}{2}) = \frac{3\pi}{4} + \frac{1}{2}.
