The correct Answer is:
To determine in which of the following cases a triangle cannot be drawn, we need to analyze each option based on the properties of triangles, particularly the angle sum property, which states that the sum of the angles in a triangle must equal 180 degrees. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Option 1: Isosceles Triangle with Equal Sides** - Given: Length of each equal side = 7.5 cm. - An isosceles triangle can be formed with two sides equal and a base. Since we have two sides of equal length, we can easily draw this triangle. - **Conclusion**: A triangle can be drawn. (This option is valid.) 2. **Option 2: Angles B and C** - Given: Angle B = 90 degrees, Angle C = 120 degrees. - According to the angle sum property, the sum of angles in a triangle must equal 180 degrees. - Calculation: 90 + 120 = 210 degrees, which is greater than 180 degrees. - **Conclusion**: A triangle cannot be drawn. (This option is invalid.) 3. **Option 3: Side AB and Angle C** - Given: AB = 6 cm, angle C = 10 degrees, and side CA = 5 cm. - We can visualize this: angle C is small, and we can draw side CA of 5 cm and then extend AB from point A to 6 cm. - **Conclusion**: A triangle can be drawn. (This option is valid.) 4. **Option 4: Angles X and Y** - Given: XY = 8 cm, angle X = 30 degrees, angle Y = 60 degrees. - Calculation: 30 + 60 = 90 degrees. The third angle will be 180 - 90 = 90 degrees. - We can draw this triangle as it satisfies the angle sum property. - **Conclusion**: A triangle can be drawn. (This option is valid.) ### Final Answer: The option in which a triangle cannot be drawn is **Option 2**. ---
