Correct Answer: 90°


Solution : Given: The ratio of the three sides of the triangle is 5 : 13 : 12.
The ratio of the three sides of the triangle forms Pythagoras triplets.
Let the sides of the triangle be $x$.
According to the question,
$(5x)^2+(12x)^2$
= $25x^2+144x^2$
= $169x^2$
= $(13x)^2$
So, the ratio of the three sides of the triangle forms Pythagoras triplets.
Therefore, the triangle is a right-angled triangle.
Thus, the largest angle of the triangle = 90°.
Hence, the correct answer is 90°.
