Solution

The correct option is D (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 7pq2p+6 units.
Perimeter of the triangle = Sum of the sides of the triangle
7pq2p+6=(2pq2p+3)+(3pq5p+2)+x
Grouping the like terms together, we get
7pq2p+6=(5pq7p+5)+x.
x=(7pq2p+6)(5pq7p+5)
x=2pq+5p+1
So, the length of the third side of the triangle is (2pq+5p+1) units.
