The correct answer is:
$2 a \alpha B$
At any time $t$, the side of the square $a=\left(a_{0}\right.$ $-\alpha t),$ where $a_{0}=$ side at $t=0$
At this instant, flux through the square :
$$
\begin{array}{l}
\phi=B A \cos 0^{\circ}=B\left(a_{0}-\alpha t\right)^{2} \\
\therefore \text { emf induced } E=-\frac{d \phi}{d t} \\
\Rightarrow E=-B .2\left(a_{0}-\alpha t\right)(0-\alpha)=+2 \alpha a B
\end{array}
$$
