Answer: (a)

Explanation:

Given

The diameter of the inner circle is
d=14\ m

thickness of the strip is
t=2\ m

So, the radius of inner circle is
r=7\ m

Radius of the outer circle
R=7+2=9\ m

Area of the shaded region is the difference of the area of outer circle and inner circle.


\Rightarrow \pi R^2-\pi r^2\\\Rightarrow \pi (9^2-7^2)\\\Rightarrow 3.142* 32\\\Rightarrow 100.5\ m^2

hence, option (a) is correct.
