The correct answer is: 22

Given,

x2+y2-x+2y=114

On rearranging terms we get,

x-122+y+12=22

Now given in PQRPCR=π4 so PQR=2212 by circle property, radius is 2 so RC=QC=2

Now, PR=QRsin2212=4sinπ8

And PQ=QRcos2212=4cos2212

Now area of ΔPQR=12PR×PQ

=124sinπ84cosπ8

=4×2sinπ8cosπ8

=4sinπ4=42=22
