Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : 34 cm

Given:

Perimeter of a rhombus is 100 cm

Length of diagonal = 14 cm

Concept used:

The two diagonals bisect each other at 90° in a rhombus.

Formula used:

Perimeter = 4 × (Side of the rhombus)

Calculations:

Let the side of rhombus be x and the diagonals be a and b

Perimeter = 4x

⇒ 100 = 4x

⇒ x = 25 cm

If the two diagonals of rhombus ABCD intersect at O then,

⇒ AO2 + BO2 = AB2

⇒ (14/2)2 + (b/2)2 = 252

⇒ 49 + (b2/4) = 625

⇒ (b2/4) = 576

⇒ b2 = 2304

⇒ b = 48 cm

Difference between the diagonals = b – a

⇒ 48 – 14

⇒ 34 cm

The difference between the two diagonals is 34 cm
