ctets15p2 q35

0. The sides of a triangle are 6.5 cm, 10 cm and x cm, where x is a positive number. What is the smallest possible value of x among the following?

  • Option : B
  • Explanation : (B) A triangle can be formed only when sum of two sides of triangle is greater than the third side. Hence, the smallest possible value of x will be 4.
    i.e. 6.5 + 10 > 4
    6.5 + 4 > 10
    4 + 10 > 6.5
    ∴ Option (2) is correct.
