Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 1

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given that, \(5 x-12 y+10=0\) \(\ldots\) (i) and \(\quad-5 x+12 y+16=0\) \(\ldots\) (ii) Slope of Eq. (i) \(=\frac{5}{12}\) Slope of Eq. (ii) \(=\frac{5}{12}\) Thus, Eqs. (i) and (ii) are parallel. Therefore, distance between parallel lines \(=\) diameters of the circle.…
