(A) For Statement-$2$: By definition,the distance between two parallel lines is the perpendicular distance from any point on one line to the other line. Thus,Statement-$2$ is true.For Statement-$1$: Let the lines be $L_1: \frac{x}{2} = \frac{y}{-1} = \frac{z}{2}$ and $L_2: \frac{x-1}{4} = \frac{y-1}{-2} = \frac{z-1}{4}$.Point $P(0, 0, 0)$ lies on $L_1$. The direction vector of $L_2$ is $\vec{b} = 4\hat{i} - 2\hat{j} + 4\hat{k}$. $A$ point on $L_2$ is $Q(1, 1, 1)$.The vector $\vec{PQ} = (1-0)\hat{i} + (1-0)\hat{j} + (1-0)\hat{k} = \hat{i} + \hat{j} + \hat{k}$.The distance $d$ between parallel lines is given by $d = \frac{|\vec{PQ} 	imes \vec{b}|}{|\vec{b}|}$.$\vec{PQ} 	imes \vec{b} = \begin{vmatrix} \hat{i} & \hat{j} & \hat{k} \ 1 & 1 & 1 \ 4 & -2 & 4 \end{vmatrix} = \hat{i}(4 - (-2)) - \hat{j}(4 - 4) + \hat{k}(-2 - 4) = 6\hat{i} + 0\hat{j} - 6\hat{k}$.$|\vec{PQ} 	imes \vec{b}| = \sqrt{6^2 + 0^2 + (-6)^2} = \sqrt{36 + 36} = \sqrt{72} = 6\sqrt{2}$.$|\vec{b}| = \sqrt{4^2 + (-2)^2 + 4^2} = \sqrt{16 + 4 + 16} = \sqrt{36} = 6$.$d = \frac{6\sqrt{2}}{6} = \sqrt{2}$.Thus,Statement-$1$ is true and Statement-$2$ is the correct explanation.
