In quadrilateral PQRS, PQ = 7, QR = 4, RS = 11 and SP = 3. If the length of the diagonal PR is d, which of the following is true?

    In ΔPQR, PR < PQ + QR 

    PR < 7 + 4

    PR < 11

    In ΔPSR, PS + PR  >  SR

    PR  > SR - PS 

    PR  > 11 – 3

    PR > 8

     

    Thus 8 < PR < 118 < d < 11

    Choice (D).
