D
36o

Correct Option: A
Reflex < POS = 2x (angle at centre is twice that at circumference)
reflex < POS + < POS = 350o(angles at a point)
i.e. 2x + 8x = 360o
10x = 360o
x = (\frac{360}{10})
= 36o
< PRS = (\frac{1}{2})
< POS(< at centre twice that circumference)
= (\frac{1}{2}) x 8x = 4x
4 x 36o
< PRS = 144
