Solution

Sub-parts : 1 Mark each

(i) Since AB + BC > AC, AB + AC > BC and BC + AC > AB, the following triangle can exist.
(ii) The following triangle cannot exist since OM + NO is not greater than MN.
(iii) The following triangle cannot exist since one of the angles of the triangles is 0o. All angles of a triangle should be greater than 0o.
