Answer: The answer is (C) As the number of visitors to a park increases, the number of flowers in bloom at the park increases.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given four options out of which we are to select which relationship is likely ONLY a correlation and NOT one of causation.

Causation is defined as the determination of the cause or reason for some sort of phenomenon while a correlation is simply a recognised relationship between two things or events, but it does not imply causation.In cases of correlation, one thing or event predicts another.

So, in the options (A), (B) and (D), we can see both correlation and causation simultaneously, but in option (C), we can only see correlation, NOT causation.

Thus, the correct option is (C).

Given △ABC. m∠A&gt;m∠B&gt;m∠C. Perimeter=30. Which side of △ABC may have length 7?
lisabon 2012 [21]

<u>Solution-</u>

As given in △ABC,

m\angle A>m\angle B>m\angle C

As from the properties of trigonometry we know that, the greater the angle is, the greater is the value of its sine. i.e

\sin A>\sin B>\sin C

According to the sine law,

\frac{a}{\sin A}=\frac{b}{\sin B}=\frac{c}{\sin C}

In order to make the ratio same, even though m∠A>m∠B>m∠C, a must be greater than b and b must be greater than c.

\Rightarrow a>b>c

Also given that its perimeter is 30. Now we have to find out whose side length is 7. So we have 3 cases.

Case-1. Length of a is 7

As a must be the greatest, so b and c must be less than 7. Which leads to a condition where its perimeter won't be 30. As no 3 numbers less than 7 can add up to 30.

Case-2. Length of b is 7

As b is greater than c, so c must 6 or less than 6. But in this case the formation of triangle is impossible. Because the triangle inequality theorem states that the sum of any 2 sides of a triangle must be greater than the measure of the third side. If b is 7 and c is 6, then a must be 17. So no 2 numbers below 7 can add up to 17.

Case-3. Length of c is 7

As this is the last case, this must be true.

Therefore, by taking the aid of process of elimination, we can deduce that side c may have length 7.
