(A) 51
(B) 54
(C) 57
(D) 60
(E) 63

Area of intersection = 4* area of semi circle - area of the square
= 157- 100 = 57

KILLLLER! So direct, didn't care to explain segment's area [spoiler]OA C[/spoiler]

when u will dra the diagram and will analyse, area of four semi-circles - area of square
you will find that area of four semicircles includes area of the req intersection twice + area of not required section
and when u subtract area of square u actually subtract area of the req intersection (once) + area of not required section(once)

so u get the required value
hence Area of intersection = 4xarea of semi circle - area of the square
= 4 x (3.14 x 5^2)/2-100 = 57 Ans C

FROM DIAGRAM ITS VISIBLE THAT REQD AREA= 4* AREA OF SEMICIRCLES -AREA OF SQ=157-100=57
