IMPORTANT RULE: If two sides of a triangle have lengths A and B, then . . .
DIFFERENCE between A and B < length of third side < SUM of A and B
Applying the above rule, we get: 4 - 3 < x < 4 + 3
Simplify: 1 < x < 7
Answer: B

Theory: Each Side of the Triangle is between the | Difference of the other two sides | and Sum of the other two sides
=> |PQ - QR| < PR < PQ + QR
=> |3 - 4| < x < 3 + 4
=> |-1| < x < 7
=> 1 < x < 7
So, Answer will be B
Hope it helps!
