Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\pm 3 \sqrt{5}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given equation, \[ \begin{aligned} (x-2 y)^2+k(x-2 y) & =0 \\ \Rightarrow \quad(x-2 y)(x-2 y+k) & =0 \\ (x-2 y)=0 \text { or } x-2 y+k & =0 \end{aligned} \] Distance between these parallel lines is…
