Given that ABC is a right angle triangle And AC=4 and BC=10

So according to pythgoreous theorem:


AB^2+AC^2=BC^2

Now put the values in it:


\begin{gathered} AB^2+(4)^2=(10)^2 \\ AB^2+16=100 \\ AB^2=100-16 \\ AB^2=84 \\ AB=\sqrt[]{84} \\ AB=\sqrt[]{4*21} \\ AB=2\sqrt[]{21} \end{gathered}

Hence the correct option is B.
