what is the probable value of D ???

Since you say the "probable" value of D, I am guessing that this is a
probability problem. That said, we need a probability distribution on
A to determine anything about D, other than the obvious (that D is the
positive or negative square-root of a positive integer). If A is
chosen uniformly at random from the positive integers, then all
possible values of D are equally likely (and the probability is
infinitesimal).

If, for example, we say A is chosen by rolling two standard 6-sided
dice, then there are 22 possible values for D, with the positive and
negative square roots of 7 being most likely, at 1/12 each.

If you are looking for the expected value of D, then it is 0
(regardless of the distribution of A). See if you can figure out why.
