Correct Answer: 32 cm


Solution : Let the first diagonal be $x$ and the second diagonal be $2x$.
Area of rhombus = $\frac{1}{2}\times$(Product of the diagonals)
$256 = \frac{1}{2}\times x \times 2x$
⇒ $256 = x^2$
⇒ $x=16$
So, the length of the larger diagonal = 2 × 16 = 32 cm
Hence, the correct answer is 32 cm.
