    A 64 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 76 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 81 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 100 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let side of 4 squares be a, b, c and d cm respectively. => a = 24/4 = 6 cm => b = 36/4 = 9 cm => c = 40/4 = 10 cm => c = 44/4 = 11 cm Perimeter of new square = a + b + c + d = 36 => side = 36/4 = 9 cm Required area = side2 = 92 = 81 cm2.
