We know the formula that the length of the longest side (a) of a triangle with sides a,b,c will be less than the sum of the lengths of the remaining sides.

a<b+c

Since the perimeter is 24, we can eliminate D and E.

If 12 is the greatest side then we will get a(=12)= b+c (=12).

If 13 is the greatest side then we will get a(=13)> b+c (=11).

However, C is appropriate since it will satisfy the equation a<b+c i.e. 11<13.

Answer is C.
Thanks,
Bharat.

The perimeter of ∆ABC is 24.

Choosing the biggest options:

Longest side + Sum of remaining sides = 24

L + S = 24

13 + 11 = 24 creates a gap, no triangle

12 + 12 = 24 is 1-dimensional, no triangle

11 + 13 = 24 makes a triangle as L < S

No need to try smaller values

Therefore L max = 11

Answer C
