Solution

The correct options are
B x=1
D 7x24y+41=0
​​​ Let the line passing through (1,2) makes an angle of α with the given parallel lines


Now the distance between the parallel lines is 125 units
So, from diagram tanα=43
If the slope of the required line is m, then m= tan(θ±α) , where tanθ is slope of given line = 34
m=3/4±4/311=,724
So the equation of required lines are
x=1,7x24y+41=0
