Correct Answer: QR and PQ


Solution :
In  $\triangle P Q R$,
$\angle P: \angle Q: \angle R=3: 4: 8$
Let $\angle P= 3x,\angle Q=4x,\angle R=8x$
$\therefore \angle R$ is the largest angle and $\angle P$ is the smallest angle.
The shortest side will be opposite to the smallest angle.
⇒ QR is the shortest side.
The longest side will be opposite to the largest side.
⇒ PQ is the longest side.
Hence the correct answer is QR and PQ.
