    The perimeter of a rhombus is 40 cm. If the length of one of its diagonals be 12 cm, the length of the other diagonal is

    A) 14 cm

    B)  15 cm

    C)  16 cm

    D)  12 cm

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    If \[{{d}_{1}}\]and \[{{d}_{2}}\]be the diagonals of a rhombus, we have Perimeter \[=4\times \text{Side=2}\sqrt{d_{1}^{2}+d_{2}^{2}}\]
    [\[\because \]Side\[=\frac{1}{2}\sqrt{d_{1}^{2}+d_{2}^{2}}\]]
    \[\Rightarrow \]   \[40=2\sqrt{{{12}^{2}}+d_{2}^{2}}\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]   \[20=\sqrt{144+d_{2}^{2}}\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]   \[144+d_{2}^{2}={{20}^{2}}=400\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]   \[d_{2}^{2}=400-144=256\]
    \[\therefore \]      \[{{d}_{2}}=\sqrt{256}=16\,\,\text{cm}\]
