    If the length of the diagonal of a rhombus is (a + b) and its area is \[\frac{{{a}^{2}}-{{b}^{2}}}{2}\]sq units, then the other diagonal is

    A)   \[a+b\]                       

    B)  \[a-b\]

    C)  \[\frac{a-b}{2}\]                       

    D)  \[\frac{a+b}{2}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Area of rhombus \[=\frac{1}{2}{{d}_{1}}\times {{d}_{2}}=\frac{{{a}^{2}}-{{b}^{2}}}{2}\] Let second diagonal be = d                       \[\therefore \]                  \[\frac{1}{2}\]\[(a+b)\cdot d=\frac{{{a}^{2}}-{{b}^{2}}}{2}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[(a+b)\,\,d={{a}^{2}}-{{b}^{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[d=\frac{({{a}^{2}}-{{b}^{2}})}{a+b}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[d=(a-b)\]
