C. $$\frac{{6600}}{{18}}\,{\text{c}}{{\text{m}}^2}$$

D. $$\frac{{6600}}{{14}}\,{\text{c}}{{\text{m}}^2}$$

Answer: Option A

Solution (By Examveda Team)

$$\eqalign{ & {\text{Area}} = \frac{{270}}{{360}}\pi {r^2} \cr & = \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{{22}}{7} \times 20 \times 20 \cr & = \frac{{6600}}{7}\,{\text{c}}{{\text{m}}^2} \cr} $$
