Detailed Solution

Let the length of the diagonals be d 1   and d 2  .
Given that the area of the rhombus is 2016c m 2  . Then,
A= 1 2 × d 1 × d 2 2016= 1 2 × d 1 × d 2  
4032= d 1 × d 2   … (1)
By using the property, we know that the diagonal of rhombus bisects each other at 90  . Then
(65) 2 = d 1 2 2 + d 2 2 2 4225= d 1 2 + d 2 2 4  
d 1 2 + d 2 2 =16900  … (2)
We know that, ( d 1 + d 2 ) 2 = d 1 2 + d 2 2 +2 d 1 d 2  .
( d 1 + d 2 ) 2 = d 1 2 + d 2 2 +2 d 1 d 2 =16900+2(4032) =16900+8064 d 1 + d 2 = 24964 d 1 + d 2 =158cm  
Similarly, we know that, ( d 1 d 2 ) 2 = d 1 2 + d 2 2 2 d 1 d 2  .
( d 1 d 2 ) 2 = d 1 2 + d 2 2 2 d 1 d 2 =169002(4032) =169008064 d 1 d 2 = 8836 d 1 d 2 =94cm  
From the above equation, we have
d 1 + d 2 =158 d 1 =158 d 2  … (3)
d 1 d 2 =94cm (158 d 2 ) d 2 =94 2 d 2 =94158 d 2 = 64 2 d 2 =32cm  
Substitute the above value in the equation (3), and we have
d 1 =158 d 2 =15832 =126cm  
Hence, the correct option is 2.
