Question

There is a quadrilateral PLAY with PL=3cm, LA=4cm, AY= 4.5 cm, PY = 2cm. Which of the following values of LY is not possible ?

• A. 2
• B. 3
• C. 6
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is C

6

Since one side of a triangle cannot be greater than sum of other 2 sides, diagonal LY must be smaller than sum PL + PY and smaller than the sum AL + AY. PL + PY =5 and AL + AY = 8.5. Hence LY must be lesser than 5. The option with 6 is correct option.
