Question : Two identical circles intersect so that their centres and the points at which they intersect form a square of side $2\;\mathrm{cm}$. What is the area (in$\;\mathrm{cm^2}$) of the portion common to the two circles?

Option 1: $2\pi -4$

Option 2: $4\pi -8$

Option 3: $3\pi -4$

Option 4: $\pi -2$

Question : Raman is 25% more efficient than Aman. If Aman can complete a piece of work in 25 days, Raman can complete the same work in how many days?

Option 1: 12

Option 2: 15
