Detailed Solution

Given triplet is (3,4,5).
If a2+b2=c2, then a, b and c are called Pythagorean triplet.
Now, in the triplet (3 , 4 , 5).
 32=9, 42=16,52=25.
And 9+16=25.
The square of the largest number is equal to the sum of the square of the other two numbers. Hence, (3,4,5) is a Pythagorean triplet.
Hence,  the statement is true.
Therefore, option (1) is correct.
