Solution

The correct option is A
We know that one of the points on the line $4 x + 3 y = 11 i s (0, \frac{11}{3})$
Therefore all we need to do is find the length of perpendicular from this point to the other line. Required distance = $\frac{∣ ∣ 0 \times 8 + 6 \times \frac{11}{3} - 15 ∣ ∣}{\sqrt{64 + 36}} = \frac{7}{10}$
