Question

Choose the correct alternative:

Out of given triplets, which is not a Pythagoras triplet?

Options

• (5, 12, 13)

• (8, 15, 17)

• (7, 8, 15)

• (24, 25, 7)

Answer 1

(7, 8, 15)

Here, 15² = 225

7² + 8² = 49 + 64 = 113

∴ 15² ≠ 7² + 8²

The square of the largest number is not equal to the sum of the squares of the other two numbers.

∴ (7, 8, 15) is not a Pythagoras triplet.
