Solution
The correct option is C588cm2
Side of bigger square → a
Side of smaller square → b
Here It can be seen from the figure that a →4b (4 smaller squares lie on one side of bigger square)
Area →Side×Side
Area →28×28
Hence, Side →28
Now, 28→4× b
b →7
Area of shaded region → (Area of bigger square) −4(Area of smaller square)
