In any given triagle, the lengths of any two sides of the triangle must add up to more than the length of the third side.

II. If one of the sides is 12, the sum of lengths of the other two sides must be 12

III. If one of the sides is 14, the sum of lengths of the other two sides must be 10

Therefore II and III are not possible

Answer is (A)

Hit Kudos if this helped!

third side rule of ∆ ; sum of two sides of ∆ > third side
here total sum = 14 so if 1 given side is 10 then other side total>10 is possible to match perimeter
where as 12 & 14 are > half of perimeter and will not be > sum of other two sides

Perimeter of a Triangle => 2(L+B) = 24
Or, L+B = 12

Among the answer choices, Only 10 works ! ( 10 + 2 )

We can use the triangle inequality theorem in which the sum of any two sides must be greater than the third.

If one side is 10, the sum of the other two sides is 14. Thus, 10 works.

If one side is 12, the sum of the other two sides is 12. Thus, 12 does not work.

If one side is 14, the sum of the other two sides is 10. Thus, 14 does not work.

Answer: A
