Question

Choose the correct alternative:

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

Options

• (9, 40, 41)

• (11, 60, 61)

• (6, 14, 15)

• (6, 8, 10)

Answer 1

(6, 14, 15)

Here, 15² = 225

6² + 14² = 36 + 196 = 232

∴ 15² ≠ 6² + 14²

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

∴(6, 14, 15) is not a Pythagoras triplet.
