ctets15p2 q35

35The 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 : 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.
