For a traingle, sum of two sides of triangle is always greater than the third side of triangle.

The sum of two sides of triange is,


40+30=70

So length of thir side of triangle must be less than 70.

From the options, it can be observed that 70 is not possible length of third side of riangle.

So 70 cm is answer.
