Answer:

Option (2).

Explanation:

It is given in the question,

ΔLMN is a right triangle with base LM = 3a units

Hypotenuse MN = 5a

By applying Pythagoras theorem in ΔLMN,

MN² = LM² + NM²

(5a)² = (3a)² + MN²

25a² - 9a² = MN²

MN = √16a²

MN = 4a

Therefore, vertices of the triangle will be L(0, 0), M(3a, 0) and N(0, 4a).

Option (2) will be the answer.
