Answer

Given, ABCD is a rhombus, diagonal AC = 16 cm and diagonal BD = 12 cm.

The diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at right angles.

∴ ∠AOB = 90°

Each diagonal is divided into two equal segments.

∴ AC = 16 cm ⇒ AO = OC = 162\dfrac{16}{2} = 8 cm

∴ BD = 12 cm ⇒ BO = OD = 122\dfrac{12}{2} = 6 cm

According to Pythagoras theorem, in a right-angled triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides.

⇒ Hypotenuse2 = Base2 + Height2

In Δ AOB,

⇒ AB2 = BO2 + OA2

⇒ AB2 = 62 + 82

⇒ AB2 = 36 + 64

⇒ AB2 = 100

⇒ AB = 100\sqrt{100}

⇒ AB = 10 cm

According to formula, perimeter of rhombus = 4 x length of side

= 4 x 10

= 40 cm.

∴ Statement 1 is false, and statement 2 is true.

Hence, option 4 is the correct option.
