Answer: C. \frac{1}{20}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Points A and B lie on a circle centered at point O.

[tex]\frac{\text{ length of AB}}{\text{radius}}=\frac{\pi}{10}[/tex]

We know that the angle of sector is given by :-

[tex]\theta=\frac{l}{r}[/tex], where l is the length of sector and r is the radius of sector.

Thus, [tex]\theta=\frac{\pi}{10}[/tex]

The area of sector is given by :-

[tex]\text{Area of sector}=\frac{\theta}{2\pi}\times\text{Area of circle}[/tex]

Now, the ratio of the area of sector AOB to the area of the circle is given by :-

[tex]\frac{\frac{\theta}{2\pi}\times\text{Area of circle}}{\text{Area of circle}}\\\\=\frac{\theta}{2\pi}\\\\=\frac{\pi}{10}\times\frac{1}{2\pi}\\\\=\frac{1}{20}[/tex]
