The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Area of the semicircle with AB as a diameter = 1/2×π×(AB2/4)
⇒ 1/2×π×(AB2/4) = 72×π
⇒ AB = 24 cm
It is also know that the area of the rectangle ABCD = 768 sq.cm
⇒ AB×BC = 768
⇒ BC = 32cm
Observe that the perimeter of the remaining shape = AD + DC + BC + Arc(AB)
⇒ 32+24+32+π×24/2
⇒ 88 + 12π
