Solution
Let the numbers be 2x, 3x and 5x
According to question,
(2x)2 + (3x)2 + (5x)2 = 608
⇒ 4x2 + 9x2 + 25x2 = 608
⇒ 38x2 = 608
⇒ `x^2 = 608/38 = 16`
⇒ `x = sqrt(16)`
Now, 16 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 = (2 × 2)2
⇒ `sqrt(16) = 2 xx 2 = 4`
∴ `x = sqrt(16) = 4`
Hence, the numbers are 2 × 4, 3 × 4, 5 × 4, i.e. 8, 12 and 20.
