Solution:

To solve this question, we have to use the fundamental properties of a triangle with sides a,b,c that

(1)The sum of two sides of a triangle is less than the third side and a + b < c => c > a + b

(2)The difference of two sides of a triangle is more than the third side a- b >c => c < a - b

Here a = 5.4 b=3.2 and hence c > 5.4 + 3.2 = 8.6 and

c < 5.4 - 3.2 = 2.2

=> 2.2 < c < 8.6 (option c)
