Answer: Choice D
68 square inches
=============================================
Explanation:
Refer to the diagram below.
I'll make the yellow sheet of paper to be 8 by 10, where the horizontal part is 8 and the vertical is 10. The overlapped region has its horizontal part as 8 as well.
The other piece of paper is 8.5 inches by 11 inches. The vertical part of the overlapped region is 8.5 inches.
The overlapped region is a 8.5 inch by 8 inch rectangle with area 8.5*8 = 68 square inches. This makes choice D the final answer.
