In a four bar linkage, s denotes the shortest link length, L is the longest link length, P and Q are the lengths of other two links. At least one of the three moving links will rotate by 360° if Correct Answer S + L < P + Q

According to Grashof’s law for four bar mechanism, the sum of shortest and longest link lengths should not be greater than the sum of remaining two link length. i.e. S + L < P + Q.
