Test Name : CAT Actual Paper 2022 Slot-3

The lengths of all four sides of a quadrilateral are integer valued. If three of its sides are of length 1 cm, 2 cm and 4 cm, then the total number of possible lengths of the fourth side is

A
3
B
6
C
5
D
4
Solution:
less than the sum of the lengths of the other sides.
Let the fourth side be x.
Case 1: x is the largest side.
x < 1 + 2 + 4 or, x < 7
So x can take the values 4, 5, 6.
Case 2: 4 is the largest side and x is less than 4.
4 < x + 1 + 2 or, x > 1
So x can take the values of 2 or 3.
Hence, x can take 5 values i.e., 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.

Solution:
less than the sum of the lengths of the other sides.
Let the fourth side be x.
Case 1: x is the largest side.
x < 1 + 2 + 4 or, x < 7
So x can take the values 4, 5, 6.
Case 2: 4 is the largest side and x is less than 4.
4 < x + 1 + 2 or, x > 1
So x can take the values of 2 or 3.
Hence, x can take 5 values i.e., 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
