Question : 93 of 150
Marks: +1, -0
Which of the following is not a pythagorean triple.
Solution:  
Concept:
A Pythagorean triple is a set of three positive integers a,b,a, b, and cc, such that a2+b2=c2a^2 + b^2 = c^2. In a right-angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse (the longest side) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
Explanation:
We need to find which set of numbers does NOT satisfy the Pythagorean theorem (a2+b2=c2a^2 + b^2 = c^2). We will check each option:
Option A: 6, 8, 12
Let a=6a=6, b=8b=8, and c=12c=12.
Check if 62+82=1226^2 + 8^2 = 12^2.
36+64=14436 + 64 = 144
100≠144100 \neq 144. So, this is not a Pythagorean triple.
Option B: 5, 12, 13
Let a=5a=5, b=12b=12, and c=13c=13.
Check if 52+122=1325^2 + 12^2 = 13^2.
25+144=16925 + 144 = 169
169=169169 = 169. So, this is a Pythagorean triple.
Option C: 6, 8, 10
Let a=6a=6, b=8b=8, and c=10c=10.
Check if 62+82=1026^2 + 8^2 = 10^2.
36+64=10036 + 64 = 100
100=100100 = 100. So, this is a Pythagorean triple.
Option D: 7, 24, 25
Let a=7a=7, b=24b=24, and c=25c=25.
Check if 72+242=2527^2 + 24^2 = 25^2.
49+576=62549 + 576 = 625
625=625625 = 625. So, this is a Pythagorean triple.
The only set of numbers that does not satisfy the Pythagorean theorem is 6, 8, 12.
Answer:
A. 6, 8, 12
