The lines of the form $ax+by=c&ax+by=c1$ are parallel lines $\&$ the distance between them is $\frac{\left|c-c_1\right|}{\sqrt{a^2+b^2$ (Note: - Modulus is put as the distance cannot be negative)
The given lines $3x+4y=10&6x+8y=10$ i.e. $3x+4y=5$ are parallel lines, so using the above formula we get the distance between them as $\frac{|10-5|}{\sqrt{3^2+4^2}=55=1$
Hence the answer is (B).
