You're calculating the total area, they asked for the shaded area.
SHADED AREA. The one in grey-ish color.

You have to subtract the small sector area from big sector area.

Inadequate information. You didn't quote the exact words of the question.

But keep one thing in mind.
Any two solids which are similar, have the same ratio of corresponding lengths.
Like if two cylinders are similar to each other, the ratio of their bottom circumferences will be equal to the ratio of their radius, and the ratio of their height.

But the ratio of their volume will be the cube of the ratio of their corresponding lengths.

4/5 can never be possible. You are telling us the ratio of the height 8/10=4/5.
Through ratio method the answer is 24.
Through another method I applied the answer is 16.
One of the above answer is the solution you are looking for.

area of total sector= 45/360 x pi x 3^2 = 9pi/8
area of unshaded region = 45/360 x pi x 2^2 = 4pi/8
area of shaded region= 9pi/8 - 4pi/8 = 5pi/8
