Solution
It can be observed from the figure that each blade of wiper will sweep an area of a sector of 115° in a circle of 25 cm radius.
Area of such sector = `115^@/360^@ xx pi xx (25)^2`
`= 23/72 xx 22/7 xx 25 xx 25`
`= 158125/252 "cm"^2`
Area swept by 2 blades = `2xx 158125/252`
`= 158125/126 "cm"^2`
