Solution:

The question is about which set of integers is not a Pythagorean triple,

A Pythagorean triple is a set of three integer (a,b,c) that satisfy the Pythagorean theorem, which states that in a right angled triangle, the square of hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the square of two smaller sides,


\rightarrow c^2= a^2+b^2 where a and b refer to the shorter sides and c refers to the longest side, hypotenuse , of the triangle.

Given set of triple integers are-

A. 12, 35, 37 B. 14, 46, 48 C. 16, 63, 65 D. 20, 99, 101

checking each set, we get

A.
12^2+35^2 =1369 =37^2

B.
14^2+46^2=2312=34√(2) \\eq 48^2

C.
16^2+63^2=4225=65^2

D.
20^2+99^2=10201=101^2

Hence, Option B. 14, 46, 48 set of integer is not a Pythagorean triple.
