Solution

In ΔABC it is given that C=60o and C>B.
Let us suppose that C is just greater than B and that B is equal to 59o.
Then, the mesure of A would be equal to "(180o60o+59o)", which is equal to 61o.
So, in any case A would be greatest of all the angles in the triangle.
We know, in a triangle, side opposite to the larger (greater) angle is longer.
The side opposite to A is BC.
Hence,BC is the longest side of triangle ABC.
