Correct Answer: 72 : 16 : 8
Solution : Let's check the options – First option: 36 : 13 : 7→36 + 13 = 49; (7) 2 = 49 Second option: 16 : 9 : 5→16 + 9 = 25; (5) 2 = 25 Third option: 72 : 16 : 8→72 + 16 = 88; (8) 2 = 64 ≠ 88 Fourth option: 1 : 3 : 2→1 + 3 = 4; (2) 2 = 4
So, only for the third option the sum of the first two numbers is not equal to the square of the third number. Hence, the third option is correct.
