Question

One of the number of pythagorean triplet is 6, what can be the other two numbers?

• A. 9, 10
• B. 8, 9
• C. 8, 10
• D. 9, 10

Answer 1

The correct option is C 8, 10

Given number of the triplet is 6

We know that $m^2-1$, 2m, $m^2+1$ is a pythagorean triplet

Let, 2m = 6
m = 3

$m^2-1$ = $3^2-1$ = 9 - 1 = 8
$m^2+1$ = $3^2+1$ = 9 + 1 = 10

So the other two numbers can be 8, 10.
