The given expression can be simplified as

6 ÷ 2 (1 + 2)

The expression can be simplified further by the order of operations, using BODMAS rule.

First evaluate Parentheses/Brackets, then evaluate Exponents/Orders, then evaluate Multiplication-Division, and finally evaluate Addition-Subtraction.

Now, the expression becomes 6 ÷ 2 (3)

According to the order of operations, division and multiplication have the same precedence, so the correct order is to evaluate from left to right. First take 6 and divide it by 2, and then multiply by 3.

6 ÷ 2 × 3

= 3 × 3

= 9

But not  6÷2×3 = 6 ÷ 6 = 1

Hence, 6 ÷ 2 (1 + 2) = 9.

A Pythagorean triple consists of three positive integers a, b, and c, such that a² + b² = c².

Here we know, that 3, 4, 5 are pythagorean triplets as 25 = 9 + 16. Hence, its multiple will also be a pythagorean triple.

In the options given, (3 x 11 , 4 x 11 , 5 x 11) = 33, 44, 55 is a pythagorean triplet.
