MCQ
A quadrilateral has distinct integer side lengths. If the second-largest side has length $10$, then the maximum possible length of the largest side is
  • A
    $25$
  • $26$
  • C
    $27$
  • D
    $28$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$26$
b
(b)

We have, side of quadrilateral has distinct integer second largest size has length $10.$

Let $a=8, b=9, c=10$, (All are distinct) We know, in quadrilateral Sum of three sides is greater than fourth side

$\therefore a+b+c>d \Rightarrow 8+9+10 > d \Rightarrow d < 27$

$\therefore$ Maximum length of $4$th side is $26.$
