Solution

The correct option is A 5 units
Both the lines are parallel to y-axis.

The line x = -3 lies at a distance of 3 units to the left side of the origin and the line x = 2 lies at a distance of 2 units to the right side of the origin.

Therefore, the distance between the lines is (3 + 2) units or 5 units.
