Solution
The correct option is A(2pq+5p+1) units Let the length of the third side of the triangle be x units.
Given that the perimeter of the triangle is 7pq−2p+6 units. ∴ Perimeter of the triangle = Sum of the sides of the triangle ⇒7pq−2p+6=(2pq−2p+3)+(3pq−5p+2)+x
Grouping the like terms together, we get 7pq−2p+6=(5pq−7p+5)+x. ⇒x=(7pq−2p+6)−(5pq−7p+5) ⇒x=2pq+5p+1
So, the length of the third side of the triangle is (2pq+5p+1) units.
