- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: A
- Interpret the equation
The given equation is
Treating this as a quadratic equation in :
So the quadratic is
- Condition for equal roots
For equal roots, discriminant must be zero:
Substitute:
Thus,
So,
But if , then the original equation becomes which is impossible.
Hence,
- Find the point
The point is
- Distance from the line
Distance of point from line is
Here, line is so , , .
For point :
- Final answer
The required distance is
So the correct option is A.
