विकल्प

• \[\frac{1}{2}\]

• \[\frac{1}{4}\]

•  \[\frac{1}{6}\]

• None of these 

Answer 1

 \[\frac{1}{6}\]

\[\text{ Multiplying the first equation of the plane by } \]
\[4x + 4y - 2z + 4 = 0 \]
\[4x + 4y - 2z = - 4 . . . \left( 1 \right)\]
\[\text{ The second equation of the plane is } \]
\[4x + 4y - 2z + 5 = 0\]
\[4x + 4y - 2z = - 5 . . . \left( 2 \right)\]
\[\text{ We know that the distance between two planes } ax + by + cz = d_1 \text{ and }ax + by +  cz = d_2 \text{ is }\frac{\left| d_2 - d_1 \right|}{\sqrt{a^2 + b^2 + c^2}}\]
\[\text{ So, the required distance } \]
\[=\frac{\left| - 5 + 4 \right|}{\sqrt{4^2 + 4^2 + \left( - 2 \right)^2}}\]
\[=\frac{\left| - 1 \right|}{\sqrt{16 + 16 + 4}}\]
\[ = \frac{1}{\sqrt{36}}\]
\[ = \frac{1}{6} \text{ units } \]
