Correct Answer: $8 \sqrt{6}$ cm


Solution : Given, Diagonal = $8\sqrt2$
$\therefore$ Side = $\frac{8\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt 2}=8$ cm
⇒ Area of this square = $(8)^2 = 64$ cm 2
The Area of the Second square is triple the first one.
⇒ Area of the second one $= 64×3$
$\therefore$ Side of the 2nd square $= \sqrt{64×3} = 8\sqrt3$
⇒ The diagonal 2nd square $= \sqrt2×8\sqrt3 = 8\sqrt{6}$ cm
Hence, the correct answer is $8\sqrt6$ cm.
