Detailed Solution

Given dates are  15/08/17, 16/08/16, 3/5/17 and 4/9/15.
In the triplet 15/08/17,
152=225, 82=64, 172=289.
And  225+64=289.
The square of the largest number is equal to the sum of the sum of square of the two numbers.
15/08/17 is a Pythagorean triplet.
In the triplet 16/08/16,
162=256,82=64,162=256.
And 256+64=320256.
The square of the largest number is not equal to the sum of the squares of the other two numbers.
16/08/16 is not a Pythagorean triplet.
In the triplet 3/5/17,
32=9,52=25,172=289.
And 9+25=34289.
The square of the largest number is not equal to the sum of the squares of the other two numbers.
3/5/17 is not a Pythagorean triplet.
In the triplet 4/9/15,
42=16,92=81,152=225.
And 16+81=97225.
The square of the largest number is not equal to the sum of the square of the other two numbers.
4/9/15 is not a Pythagorean triplet.
Hence, the date 15/08/17 is a Pythagorean triplet.
Therefore, the correct answer is option (1).
