Correct Answer: 1 Mark

In scalene triangles, all the angles are different. For ABC to be maximum, the other two angles must be minimum, but different (since scalene triangle).

The minimum value of the other angles will, therefore, be 1 and 2 as the angles have an integral value. Hence, for a scalene triangle the maximum integral value of ABC=177 .
The following triangle will be an Obtuse angled triangle.
