In the given figure, points A, B, C and D are the centres of four . . .

Questions : In the given figure, points A, B, C and D are the centres of four circles that each have a radius of length one unit. If a point is selected at random from the interior of square ABCD. What is the probability that the point will be choosen from the shaded region?

Solution : 

Radius of circle (r) = 1 unit
Side of square (a) = 2× 
Radius of circle
a=2r
a=2×1
a=2 units

Total possible area
= Area of square
= a2
=(2)
=4 sq. units

Area of favorable region 
= area of square - area of 4 sectors having 
θ=90°
=a2-4×/360°)×πr2
=(2)2-4×(90°/360°)×π(1)2
= 4-4×(1/4)π
= 4-π

P(E) = (No. of favorable outcomes) / (Total No. of possible outcomes)

P(The point will be choosen from the shaded region)
= (4-π)/4
= (4-3.14)/4
= 0.86/4
= 0.215
