  1. A \(2 \sqrt{5} m\)
  2. B \(0\)
  3. C \(\frac{5 m}{\sqrt{2}}\)
  4. D \(5 \sqrt{2} \mathrm{~m}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(5 \sqrt{2} \mathrm{~m}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\((x+y)^2 - 8m(x+y) - 9m^2 = 0\) Let \(Z = x+y\). \(Z^2 - 8mZ - 9m^2 = 0\) \((Z - 9m)(Z + m) = 0\) \(Z = 9m \text{ or } Z = -m\) \(x+y-9m = 0 \text{ and } x+y+m = 0\) \(d = \frac{|C_1 - C_2|}{\sqrt{A^2 + B^2}}\) \(d = \frac{|-9m - m|}{\sqrt{1^2 + 1^2}}\)…
