The sum of two sides of a triangle is greater than the third one and the difference of two sides of the triangle is less than the third one.

[tex]\begin{gathered} \lvert Difference\rvertThus, the value of third side must greater than 7 and less than 17.

Thus, option (B) and (F) are the correct answer.
