Question
A quadrilateral has distinct integer side lengths. If the second-largest side has length $10$, then the maximum possible length of the largest side is

Answer

b
(b)

We have, side of quadrilateral has distinct integer second largest size has length $10.$

Let $a=8, b=9, c=10$, (All are distinct) We know, in quadrilateral Sum of three sides is greater than fourth side

$\therefore a+b+c>d \Rightarrow 8+9+10 > d \Rightarrow d < 27$

$\therefore$ Maximum length of $4$th side is $26.$

Two fair dice, each with faces numbered $1,2,3,4,5$ and $6$ , are rolled together and the sum of the numbers on the faces is observed. This process is repeated till the sum is either a prime number or a perfect square. Suppose the sum turns out to be a perfect square before it turns out to be a prime number. If $p$ is the probability that this perfect square is an odd number, then the value of $14 p$ is. . . . .
