  • A 100\(\pi\)
  • B 169\(\pi\)
  • C 69\(\pi\)
  • D 9\(\pi\)
  • E 269\(\pi\)
Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Area of circle 1 with diameter 26cm:
\(\pi r^{2} = \pi \times (\frac{26}{2})^{2} \)
= \(169 \pi cm^{2}\)
Area of circle 2 with diameter 20 cm:
\(\pi R^{2} = \pi \times (\frac{20}{2})^{2}\)
= \(100 \pi cm^{2}\)
Area between the two circles = \((169 - 100) \pi cm^{2}\)
= \(69 \pi cm^{2}\)
