    Let \[\alpha \] be the distance between the lines \[-x+y=2\] and \[x-y=2\], and \[\beta \] be the distance between the lines \[4x-3y=5\] and \[6y-8x=1\], then    [J & K 2005]

    A)            \[20\sqrt{2}\beta =11\alpha \]

    B)            \[20\sqrt{2}\alpha =11\beta \]

    C)            \[11\sqrt{2}\beta =20\alpha \]

    D)            None of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

               Distance between lines \[-x+y=2\] and \[x-y=2\]  is\[\alpha =\frac{2}{\sqrt{2}}+\frac{2}{\sqrt{2}}=2\sqrt{2}\]                    Distance between lines \[4x-3y=5\] and \[6y-8x=1\] is,                                 \[\beta =\frac{1}{10}+\frac{5}{5}=\frac{11}{10}\]                    Therefore\[\frac{\alpha }{\beta }=\frac{2\sqrt{2}}{11/10}\Rightarrow 20\sqrt{2}\beta =11\alpha \].
