    Answer : Option A

    Explanation :

    When d1 and d2 are the diagonals of rhombus then,
    The Side of rhombus =

    Area Aptitude

    Squaring both sides

    202 = 162 + d22

    400 = 256 + d22

    d22 = 400 - 256

    d2 = √144

    d2 = 12

    Area of rhombus =1/2( d1 × d2 )

          =1/2 ( 16 × 12 )=96 cm2
