Correct Answer: $12<x<72$
Solution : The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the third side. Also, the difference in lengths of any two sides of a triangle is smaller than the third side. According to the question, $(30+42)>x>(42-30)$ ⇒ $72>x>12$ ⇒ $12<x<72$. Hence the correct answer is $12<x<72$.
