Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{19}{20}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given lines are \(3 x-4 y+5=0\) \(\Rightarrow\) \[ \begin{aligned} & 6 x-8 y-9=0 \\ & 3 x-4 y-\frac{9}{2}=0 \end{aligned} \] Given lines (i) and (ii) are parallel to each other and they are touching the required circle \(\therefore\) Distance between lines (i) and (ii) =…
