Statement-1 (A): It is possible to construct a triangle with lengths of its sides as 8 cm, 7 cm and 4 cm .
Statement-2 (R): The sum of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the third side.

✓
Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is true; Statement-2 is a correct explanation for Statement-1.
B
Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is true; Statement-2 is not a correct explanation for Statement-1.
C
Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is false.
D

Answer

Correct option: A.

Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is true; Statement-2 is a correct explanation for Statement-1.

(a)
Statement-2 is true. If possible, let ABC be a triangle such that AB = 8 cm, BC = 7 cm and AC = 4 cm. We find that these lengths satisfy $A B+B C>A C, B C+C A>A B$ and $A C+A B>B C$. Hence, it is possible to construct a triangle with lengths of its sides as 8 cm, 7 cm, and 4 cm . So, statement-1 is true. Also, statement-2 is a correct explanation for statement- 1 .
Hence, option (a) is correct.

Answer

Correct option: B.

Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is true; Statement-2 is not a correct explanation for Statement-1.

(b)
Statement-2 is true. If possible let ABC be a triangle such that AB = 9 cm, BC = 7 cm and AC = 17 cm. We find that $A B+B C \ngtr A C$. So, it is not possible to construct a triangle with lengths of its sides as 9 cm, 7 cm and 17 cm . Hence, statement -1 is true. Thus, both the statements are true but statement-2 is not a correct explanation for statement-1. Hence, option (b) is correct.

Answer

Correct option: B.

Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is true; Statement-2 is not a correct explanation for Statement-1.

(b)
We have, $\angle A=65^{\circ}$ and $\angle C=30^{\circ}$.
$\begin{array}{ll}\therefore & \angle A+\angle B+\angle C=180^{\circ} \Rightarrow 65^{\circ}+\angle B+\angle 30^{\circ}=180^{\circ} \Rightarrow \angle B=85^{\circ} \\
\text { Thus, } & \angle B>\angle A>\angle C \\
\Rightarrow & A C>B C>A B \quad \text { [In a triangle, side opposite to greater angle is greater] } \\
\Rightarrow & A C \text { is the longest side of } \triangle A B C\end{array}$
Thus, statement-1 is true.
Statement-2 is also true, but is not a correct explanation for statement-1. Hence, option (b) is correct.
