Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(5 \sqrt{2} a\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, \(\because x^2+2 x y+y^2-8 a x-8 a y-9 a^2=0\) represents a pair of parallel lines. Compare with standard form \[ \begin{aligned} & a x^2+b y^2+2 h x y+2 g x+2 f y+c=0 \\ & a=1, b=1, h=1, g=-4 a, f=-4 a, c=-9 a^2 \end{aligned} \] \(\because\) We know that distance between…
