    The distance between the pair of parallel lines \[{{x}^{2}}+2xy+{{y}^{2}}-8ax-8ay-9{{a}^{2}}=0\] is :

    A)  \[2\sqrt{5}\,a\]                               

    B)  \[\sqrt{10}\,a\]

    C)  10 a                                      

    D)  \[5\sqrt{2}\,a\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Given equation is                 \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}+2xy-8ax-8ay-9{{a}^{2}}=0\]                 or \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}+(-4{{a}^{2}})+2xy\]                 \[-8ax-8ay-25{{a}^{2}}=0\] or            \[{{(x+y-4a)}^{2}}-{{(5a)}^{2}}=0\] or            \[(x+y-9a)\,\,(x+y+a)=0\]                 \[\Rightarrow \]               \[x+y-9a=0\]or \[x+y+a=0\]                 These lines are parallel. Now we find the distance from origin to the line                 Let \[{{p}_{1}}=\frac{0+0-9a}{\sqrt{{{1}^{2}}+{{1}^{2}}}},\,{{p}_{2}}\frac{0+0+a}{\sqrt{{{1}^{2}}+{{1}^{2}}}}\]                 \[{{p}_{1}}=-\frac{9a}{\sqrt{2}}\,,\,\,{{p}_{2}}=\frac{a}{\sqrt{2}}\] The distance between two lines is \[|\,{{p}_{2}}-{{p}_{1}}|=\left| \frac{a}{\sqrt{2}}+\frac{9a}{\sqrt{2}} \right|=\frac{10a}{\sqrt{2}}\]                 \[=5\sqrt{2}\,a\]
