Correct Answer: $15 < S < 33$


Solution : It is a property of a triangle that the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is always greater than the length of the third side.
So according to the question :
$\therefore$ 9 + 24 > S
⇒ S < 33
Also 24 – 9 < S
⇒ S < 15
$\therefore$ 15 < S < 33
Hence, the correct answer is $15<S<33$.
