As given in the question, in the figure above, square $ABCD$ is inscribed in circle of radius 10 and the diagonal of the square is equal to the diameter of the circle.
Let the side of the square be ' $a$ '
The diameter of the circle is $2×$ radius $=2×10=20$ which is same as diagonal of the square, so we get $a√2=20⇒a=10√2(∵$ Diagonal in a square is $\sqrt{2}$ times the side $)$
So, the area of the square is Side ${ }^2=a^2=(10 \sqrt{2})^2=200$
Hence the answer is (D).
