Two sides of a triangle are of length 4 cm and 2.5 cm.

Question:

Two sides of a triangle are of length 4 cm and 2.5 cm. The length of the third side of the triangle cannot be
(a) 6 cm
(b) 6.5 cm
(c) 5.5 cm
(d) 6.3 cn

Solution:

Since, 4 + 2.5 = 6.5

So, 6.5 cm cannot be the third side of the triangle, as the sum of two sides of a triangle is always greater than the third side.

Hence, the correct option is (b).
