    Distance between two parallel planes \[\mathbf{2x}+\mathbf{y}+\mathbf{2z}=\mathbf{8}\] and \[\mathbf{4x}+\mathbf{2y}+\mathbf{4z}+\mathbf{5}=\mathbf{0}\] is:

    A)  \[\frac{3}{2}\]                         

    B)  \[\frac{7}{2}\]              

    C)  \[\frac{5}{2}\]                         

    D)  \[\frac{7}{3}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] Equation of two parallel lines be             \[2x+y+2z=8\]and \[4x+2y+4z+5=0\] \[\therefore \]Distance between two parallel line be \[=\frac{\left| {{d}_{1}}-{{d}_{2}} \right|}{\sqrt{{{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}+{{c}^{2}}}}=\frac{\left| 8+\frac{5}{2} \right|}{\sqrt{{{2}^{2}}+{{2}^{2}}+{{1}^{2}}}}=\frac{21}{2\times 3}=\frac{7}{2}\] Hence, option [b] is correct.
