    The distance between the points \[(am_{1}^{2},\,2a{{m}_{1}})\] and \[(am_{2}^{2},\,2a{{m}_{2}})\] is

    A) \[a({{m}_{1}}-{{m}_{2}})\sqrt{{{({{m}_{1}}+{{m}_{2}})}^{2}}+4}\]

    B) \[({{m}_{1}}-{{m}_{2}})\sqrt{{{({{m}_{1}}+{{m}_{2}})}^{2}}+4}\]

    C) \[a({{m}_{1}}-{{m}_{2}})\sqrt{{{({{m}_{1}}+{{m}_{2}})}^{2}}-4}\]

    D) \[({{m}_{1}}-{{m}_{2}})\sqrt{{{({{m}_{1}}+{{m}_{2}})}^{2}}-4}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[s=\sqrt{{{(am_{1}^{2}-am_{2}^{2})}^{2}}+{{(2a{{m}_{1}}-2a{{m}_{2}})}^{2}}}\]   \[=\,a\,({{m}_{1}}-{{m}_{2}})\,\,\sqrt{{{({{m}_{1}}+{{m}_{2}})}^{2}}+4}\].
