Formula: Area of Sector with center angle θ is given by \(\frac{θ}{360} * \pi r ^2\)
Given that area of sector = \(24\pi\) and radius = 12 we have
=> \(24\pi\) = \(\frac{θ}{360} * \pi 12 ^2\)
=> \(θ = 360 * \frac{24}{ 12^2}\)
=> θ = 60 degree
Quantity B (90) > Quantity A(60)
So, Answer is B
Hope it helps!
