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.
