There are two tangents AT and BT on a circle of radius 30 cm. A line OT(=50 cm) connects the centre O with the external point T. Another tangent CD touches the circle at P such that C and D lie on the line segments AT and BT, respectively. Points P and T lie on the same side of the circle. Find the maximum possible area (in sq. cm ) of the circle inscribed in the triangle CDT.

A circle has its total area A. There are four equal circles tangent to this circle passing through the centre of this circle and tangent to this circle. The area of each such circle is B. The area of each region that is created by overlapping of any two of these circles is D and the area of each region that is not covered by these circles within the larger circle is C. If D=π2, find the value of C.
