Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{3}{10}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The distance between given parallel lines \(\begin{aligned} 3 x+4 y-9 & =0 \\ 6 x+8 y-15 & =0 \\ \text{is } \frac{18-15}{\sqrt{36+64}} & =\frac{3}{10} \text { unit } \end{aligned}\) Hence, option (b) is correct.
