Answer:

Option 2 is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

For right triangle

The pythagoras theorem should satisfy

The square of longest side should be equal to the sum of square of other two sides

c^2=a^2+b^2

Case1:

We have (2,3,\sqrt{10})

If we substitute in the formula

c=\sqrt{10},a=2,b=3 we get:

10\neq9+2

which does not satisfy the condition.

Case2:

We have (3,5,\sqrt{34})

If we substitute in the formula

c=\sqrt{34},a=3,b=5 we get:

34=25+9

which satisfies the condition.

Hence, option 2 is correct.
