Detailed Solution

Given, referring to the figure, area of square 1is 16 square units, area of square 2 is 48 square units.
Question ImageArea of the square 1 = side2 = 16
Side = 4 units
Area of the square 2 = side2 = 48
Side = 48 units
The triangle formed in between three squares becomes a right angled triangle since the angles of a square are right angles.
Therefore side of square 3 can be written as (4)2+(48)2.
Side of square 3 =16+48
Side of square 3  =8 units
Area of a square is side2.
  Area of square 3 = 82=64 sq.units.
Hence, option 2 is correct.
