Answer:

(b) 68

Explanation:

Distance between two points:

Suppose that we have two points,
(x_1,y_1) and
(x_2,y_2). The distance between them is given by:


D = √((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2)

Diagonal:

Diagonals are a line between opposite points in a square.

In this question, it is between A(0,3) and B(5,0), and between (0,0) and (5,3). Both these diagonals have the same measure, and are the distance between these points. So


D = √((5-0)^2+(3-0)^2) = √(5^2 + 3^2) = √(34)

Then sum of the squares of its both diagonals is units

Both diagonals measure
√(34). Sum of squares is:


(√(34))^2 + (√(34))^2 = 34 + 34 = 68

The correct answer is given by option b.
