We know that sum of 2 sides of a triangle is greater than the 3rd side. So, b+7 > a implies a - b < 7
Similarly, a + 7 > b implies a - b > -7

Combining both the above inequalities, we get -7 < (a - b) < 7 that is a - b lies between -7 and 7.

From the options I, II & III, the only possible option is I i.e a - b can take the value 4.

The correct answer is (A).

1.Sum of 2 sides of triangle is greater than third side.

2.Difference between 2 sides of triangle is greater than third side.

Let third side be 7

a-b<7<a+b

So a-b<7

Only option A satisfy this inequality.
