Options
- A4 5
- B4 2
- C2
- D10 2
Correct answer
C. 2
Step-by-step solution
Given equation is (x+7 y)^2+4 2 (x+7 y)-42=0 Put x+7 y=t aligned & t^2+4 2 (t)-42=0 & t= -4 2 32+168 2 & = -4 2 10 2 2 & =3 2 ,-7 2 & x+7 y=3 2 & aligned and x+7 y=-7 2 x+7 y-3 2 =0 and x+7 y+7 2 =0 Distance between parallel lines = |7 2 +3 2 | 1^2+7^2 = 10 2 5 2 =2
