Correct Option: B

Perimeter of a sector

= 2r + (\frac{\theta}{360^o}) x 2 x (\frac{22}{7}) x 21

64 = 2 x 21 + (\frac{\theta}{360^o}) x 2 x (\frac{22}{7}) x 21

64 = 42 + (\frac{\theta}{360^o}) x 44 x 3

64 - 42 = (\frac{\theta}{360^o}) x 11 x 3

22 = (\frac{33\theta}{90})

(\theta = \frac{22 \times 30}{11})

= 60o
