I got this wrong as my rationale was for a moment since a rombuz is also a paralleogram and area of a rombuz is d1*d2 / 2 i thought it would be sufficient but the key here is a rombuz is a paralleogram but a paralleogram is not necessarily a rombuz

Yeah thats why they had given the value of diagonal in the question so that people make mistake by using the formula 1/2*d1*d2 under time pressure,.,. :)

I attempted this question second time and got confused with 1/2 (d1) (d2) formula. I was tricked as gmat setter wanted :)

Paralleogram ABCD has diagonal AC and BD what is the area of the paralleogram


AC * BD = 96

2AC = BD = 48

I said (E), but if you take these together you get 3AC = 96 -> AC = 32, and 2AC = 64... typo?
