Solution
The correct option is C3 cm, 4 cm, 7 cm The sum of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the third side.
Here, if we consider 3 cm, 4 cm, 7 cm as side lengths then the sum of two sides (3+4) cm is equal to the third side and not greater than the third side i.e., 7 cm. Thus, the side lengths 3 cm, 4 cm , 7 cm will not form a triangle.
