IMPORTANT RULE: If two sides of a triangle have lengths A and B, then . . .
DIFFERENCE between A and B < length of third side < SUM of A and B

Applying the above rule, we get: 4 - 3 < x < 4 + 3
Simplify: 1 < x < 7

Answer: B

Sum of the two sides should always be greater than the third side
only B satisfy this condition

Solution


Given
In this question, we are given
    • The diagram of a triangle PQR, with side lengths PQ = 3, QR = 4, and PR = x

To Find
We need to determine
    • Among the given choices, which range defines all possible values of x.

Approach & Working
We know that, for any given triangle, sum of any two sides is always greater than the third side.

Therefore, we can say
    • 3 + 4 > x
    Or, x < 7

Similarly, x + 4 > 3
    Or, x > 1

Combining the two results, we can conclude 1 < x < 7.

Hence, the correct answer is option B.

In any triangle, the length of the third side must be more than the difference of the other sides and less than the sum of those two sides. Therefore, we have:

4 - 3 < x < 4 + 3

1 < x < 7

Answer: B

A property of a triangle is: The length of the third side must be greater than the difference of the other two sides and less than the sum of those two sides.

So, \(4 - 3 < x < 4 + 3\) \(= 1 < x < 7\)

The Answer is B
