Actually Welcome to the concept of Areas and Volumes.

Area of Shaded region = Area of Square - Area of inscribed Circle.

Radius if circle = 10/2 ==> 5 units

hence,

Area of circle = 25 π units

Area of square = (10)^2 ==> 100 units

hence the area of shaded region = 100 - 25π

==> Area of shaded region = 25 (4 - π)

Correct option is G.)
