Question:
Mohanlal, a prosperous farmer, has a square land of side 2 km. For the current season, he decides to have some fun. He marks two distinct points on one of the diagonals of the land. Using these points as centers, he constructs two circles. Each of these circles falls completely within the land, and touches at least two sides of the land. To his surprise, the radii of both the circles are exactly equal to \(\frac{2}{3}\) km. Mohanlal plants potatoes on the overlapping portion of these circles. Calculate the area on which Mohanlal planted potatoes (in sq. km).

Top Questions on Circle
- If two circles which pass through the points \( (0, a) \) and \( (0, -a) \) and touch the line \( y = mx + c \) cut orthogonally, then:
- Chords AB CD of a circle intersect at right angle at the point P. If the lengths of AP, PB, CP, PD are 2, 6, 3, 4 units respectively, then the radius of the circle is:
- With origin as a focus and x = 4 as the corresponding directrix, a family of ellipses are drawn. Then the locus of an end of the minor axis is:
- If in two circles, arcs of the same length subtend angles $30^\circ$ and $78^\circ$ at the centre, then the ratio of their radii is:
Four distinct points \( (2k, 3k), (1, 0), (0, 1) \) and \( (0, 0) \) lie on a circle for \( k \) equal to:

- Four reviewers (R1, R2, R3, R4) are in charge of reviewing products from companies A, B, C, and D. Each reviewer provides a rating between 1 and 5 for the products. Due to a technical glitch, the original ratings were deleted, and only the averages calculated for each product (A, B, C, D) and each reviewer (R1, R2, R3, R4) were saved. The data available is as follows:Tasks:
A B C D Average 3 4 4 ? 4 3 ? 5 ? 4 ? 3 3 ? 4 ? ? ? ? 4.25 4 4 4 4.25

- \(R\) and \(S\) scored the same on the first test.
- From the second test onwards, \(R\) consistently scored the same (a non-zero score).
- The total of the first three test scores of \(R\) equals the total of the first two test scores of \(S\).
- From the fifth test onwards, \(S\) scored the same as \(R\).
- The scores of \(S\) from the first two tests and all the remaining tests follow a geometric progression.
