  1. A \(\sqrt{31}\)
  2. B \(\sqrt{34}\)
  3. C \(\frac{21}{\sqrt{34}}\)
  4. D \(\frac{\sqrt{34}}{31}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{21}{\sqrt{34}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

If 3 and 5 are intercepts of a line \(L=0\), then \(x\)-intercept \(=a=3\) \(y\)-intercept \(=b=5\) Equation of line is \(\frac{x}{3}+\frac{y}{5}=1 \Rightarrow 5 x+3 y-15=0\) \(\therefore\) Required distance…
