- 1:1:2
- 1:3:6
- None of these

Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Sum of angles in triangle = 180°. For ratio 1:3:6, sum parts = 10, each part = 18°, so angles = 18°, 54°, 108° → not possible in right triangle (one angle>90°).

- Spheres of unit diameter are centered at \( (l, m, n) \), where \( l, m, \) and \( n \) take every possible integer value. The distance between two spheres is computed from the center of one sphere to the center of another sphere. For a given sphere, \( x \) is the distance to its nearest sphere and \( y \) is the distance to its next nearest sphere. The value of \( \frac{y}{x} \) is:
