Detailed Solution

Given that the two sides of a triangle are 7 cm and 3.5 cm.
The triangle inequality theorem states that “the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side”.
Therefore, the length of the third side will be smaller than (7 + 3.5) = 10.5 cm and greater than (7 - 3.5) = 3.5 cm.
In option 1, we have,
3.6>3.5
Therefore, 3.6 cm could be the length of the third side.
In option 2, we have,
4.1>3.5
Therefore, 4.1 cm could be the length of the third side.
In option 4, we have,
3.8>3.5
Therefore, 3.8 cm could be the length of the third side.
In option 3, we have,
3.43.5
Therefore, 3.4 cm could not be the length of the third side.
Thus, the length of the third side can’t be 3.4 cm.
Hence, option (3) is correct.
