    The perimeter of a rhombus is 100 cm. If one of its diagonals is 14 cm, then the area of the rhombus is

    A) \[144\,\,c{{m}^{2}}\]              

    B) \[225\,\,c{{m}^{2}}\]

    C) \[336\,\,c{{m}^{2}}\]  

    D) \[400\,\,c{{m}^{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Side of rhombus \[=\frac{1}{2}\sqrt{d_{1}^{2}+d_{2}^{2}}\]
    Perimeter of rhombus \[=4\times \frac{1}{2}\sqrt{d_{1}^{2}+d_{2}^{2}}\]
    \[\therefore \]      \[2\sqrt{d_{1}^{2}+d_{2}^{2}}=100\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]   \[d_{1}^{2}+d_{2}^{2}=2500\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]   \[{{(14)}^{2}}+d_{2}^{2}=2500\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]   \[d_{2}^{2}=2340\]\[\Rightarrow \]\[{{d}_{2}}=48\]
    \[\therefore \]Area of rhombus \[=\frac{1}{2}\times {{d}_{1}}\times {{d}_{2}}\]
                                        \[=\frac{1}{2}\times 14\times 48=336\,\,c{{m}^{2}}\]
