Let P and Q be the lengths of diagonals of the rhombus,

Area of rhombus = Product of both diagonals/ 2,

⇒ 840 = P × Q /2,

⇒ P × Q = 1680,

Using Pythagorean Theorem we get,

⇒ (P/2)2 + (Q/2)2 = 372

⇒ P2 + Q2 = 1369 ×

 4

⇒ P2 + Q2 = 5476

Using perfect square formula we get,

⇒ (P + Q)2 = P2 + 2PQ + Q2

⇒ (P + Q)2 = 5476 + 2 × 1680

⇒ P + Q = 94

Hence option 4 is correct.
