Solution

Here, in all equations the coefficient of x is same.
It means all the lines have same slope
So, all the lines are parallel.
Now, the distance between the line 3x + 4y + 2 = 0 and 3x + 4y + 5 = 0 is given by
2-532+42=325=35
Again, the distance between the line 3x + 4y + 2 = 0 and 3x + 4y − 5 = 0 is given by
2+532+42=725=75
Hence, the ratio is given by
35 : 75=3 : 7
