Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

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

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

To find, distance between the lines \(3 x+4 y=9\) and \(6 x+8 y=15\), since we know that distance between the lines \(a x+b y+c_1=0\) and \(a x+b y+c_2=0\) \(\Rightarrow \quad d=\left|\frac{c_1-c_2}{\sqrt{a^2+b^2}}\right|\) Here lines are \(3 x+4 y-9=0\) and…
