Detailed Solution

Draw first triangleABC with three side lines AB, BC and CA.
Question ImageThe sides on measure we get,
AB=4.7 cm,
BC=5.5 cm
AC=3.4 cm
Here,
AB+BC
=4.7cm+5.5 cm
=10.2cm
AS, 10.2>3.4. Thus,
AB+BC>AC
Now,PQR
Question ImageOn measuring the sides, we get,
PQ=2.8 cm,
QR=4 cm
PR=4.1 cm
Here,
PQ+QR
=2.8cm+4cm
=6.8cm
Since,
6.8>4.1,
So,
PQ+QR>PR
Third triangleXYZcan be drawn as,
Question ImageHere,
XY=2.4 cm,
YZ=5 cm
ZX=5.5 cm
XY+YZ
=2.4cm+5cm
=7.4cm
Since, 7.4>5.5,
XY+YZ>ZX
For the fourth the triangle ΔMNS,
Question ImageHere,
MN=3 cm,
NS=5 cm
MS=3.4 cm
MN+NS
=3 cm+5 cm
=8 cm
Since, 8>3.4,
MN+NS>MS
For the fifth triangle ΔKLM,
Question ImageWe have KL=5.4 cm,
LM=5 cm
KM=2 cm
KL+LM
=5.4cm+2 cm
=7.4cm
Since
7.4 cm>5 cm,
KL+LM>KM
As, we have seen the sum of the length of two sides is greater than third side in each case. Thus, the given statement is false.
Correct option is 2.
