Which of the following is a Pythagorean triplet Correct Answer 8, 15, 17

A Pythagorean triplet consists of three positive integers a, b, and c, such that a² + b² = c².

Where c is hypotenuse and a and b are perpendicular and base.

c is greater than both a and b

Let c = 17, a = 15 and b = 8

a² + b² = c²

⇒ 225 + 64 = 289

LHS = RHS, hence, 8, 15, 17 are Pythagorean triplet.
