Option A is the correct option.
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Let h , p and b are the hypotenuse , perpendicular and base of a right - angled triangle respectively.
From Pythagoras theorem,
![\sf{ {h}^{2} = {p}^{2} + {b}^{2} }](/tpl/images/0723/1689/4cf8f.png)
Here, we know that the hypotenuse is always greater than perpendicular and base,
h = 46 , p = 40 , b = 9
⇒![\sf{ {46}^{2} = {40}^{2} + {9}^{2} }](/tpl/images/0723/1689/26c58.png)
⇒![2116 = 1600 + 81](/tpl/images/0723/1689/7567f.png)
⇒![\sf{2116 ≠ 1681}](/tpl/images/0723/1689/fbaeb.png)
Thus , the relation
is not satisfied by h = 46 , p = 40 , b = 9
So, The set of numbers 9 , 40 , 46 is not Pythagorean triple.
------------------------------------------------------
2. 16 , 30 , 34
h = 34 , p = 30 , b = 16
![\sf{ {h}^{2} = {p}^{2} + {b}^{2} }](/tpl/images/0723/1689/4cf8f.png)
⇒![\sf{ {34}^{2} = {30}^{2} + {16}^{2} }](/tpl/images/0723/1689/5ba4d.png)
⇒![\sf{1156 = 900 + 256}](/tpl/images/0723/1689/8a6b0.png)
⇒![\sf{1156 = 1156}](/tpl/images/0723/1689/dcc6f.png)
The relation
is satisfied by the particular values of h , p and b i.e h = 34 , p = 30 , b = 16
So, the set of numbers 16 , 30 , 34 is a Pythagorean triple.
------------------------------------------------------
3. 10, 24 , 26
h = 26 , p = 24 , b = 10
![\sf{ {h}^{2} = {p}^{2} + {b}^{2} }](/tpl/images/0723/1689/4cf8f.png)
⇒![\sf{ {26}^{2} = {24}^{2} + {10}^{2} }](/tpl/images/0723/1689/f6308.png)
⇒![\sf{676 = 576 + 100}](/tpl/images/0723/1689/bd67a.png)
⇒![\sf{676 = 676}](/tpl/images/0723/1689/62ada.png)
The relation
is satisfied by the particular values of h , p and h i.e h = 26 , p = 24 , b = 10
So, the set of numbers 10, 24 , 26 is the Pythagorean triple.
-----------------------------------------------------
4. 50 , 120 , 130
h = 130 , p = 120 , b = 50
![\sf{ {h}^{2} = {p}^{2} + {b}^{2} }](/tpl/images/0723/1689/4cf8f.png)
⇒![\sf{ {130}^{2} = {120}^{2} + {50}^{2} }](/tpl/images/0723/1689/001a2.png)
⇒![\sf{16900 = 14400 + 2500}](/tpl/images/0723/1689/4b413.png)
⇒![\sf{16900 = 16900}](/tpl/images/0723/1689/4ba87.png)
The relation
is satisfied by the particular values of h , p and b i.e h = 130 , p = 120 , b = 50
So, the set of numbers 50, 120 , 130 is the Pythagorean triple.
-----------------------------------------------------
In this way, to satisfy the Pythagoras Theorem , the hypotenuse ( h ) , perpendicular ( p ) and the base ( b ) of a right - angles triangle should have the particular values in order. These values of h , p and b are called Pythagorean triple.
