Detailed Solution

Given that one of the member of the pythagorean triplet is 2m  .
We have to find the other two members.
As we know that, for every natural number m  , 2m, m 2 1, m 2 +1   form a pythagorean triplet.
Consider an example.
We know that, (3, 4, 5) forms a pythagorean triplet.
Since 2m,m2-1,m2+1 from a pythagorean triplet, put m = 2.
So, we get, 2m = 2(2)
= 4
= m2-1=22-1
= 4 - 1
= 3
And m2+1=22+1
= 4 + 1
= 5
And so, (3, 4, 5) forms a pythagorean triplet.
And hence, 2m, m2-1, m2+1 forms pythagorean triplet.
The other two members are m2-1, m2+1.
Hence, option 2) is correct.
