↪A Triplet is said to be a Pythagorean triplet if , square of one number is equals to the sum of square of other two numbers .

1). 4 , 6 and 8

Here ,

(8)^2 = 64

(4)^2 + ( 6 )^2 = 16 + 36 = 5 2

Hence LHS is not Equal to RHS.

So , it's not a Pythagorean triplet.

2). 6 , 8 , 10

(10)^2 = 100

(6)^2 + (8)^2 = 36 + 64 = 100

100 = 100

LHS= RHS.

Hence it is a Pythagorean triplet.
