The line L1 is parallel to the vector a = -3 i + 2 j + 4 k and passes through the point (7, 6, 2) and the line L2 is parallel to the vector b = 2 i + j + 3 k and passes through the point (5, 3, 4). The shortest distance between the lines L1 and L2 is :

1. 23 38
2. 21 38
3. 23 57
4. 21 57

Let L1 : x-11 = y-2-1 = z-12 and L2 : x+1-1 = y-22 = z1 be two lines. Let L3 be a line passing through the point ( , , ) and be perpendicular to both L1 and L2. If L3 intersects L1, then |5 - 11 - 8 | equals :

Let a = i + 2 j + k and b = 2 i + 7 j + 3 k. Let L1 : r = (- i + 2 j + k) + a, R and L2 : r = ( j + k) + b, R be two lines. If the line L3 passes through the point of intersection of L1 and L2 and is parallel to a + b, then L3 passes through the point :

1. (-1, -1, 1)
2. (2, 8, 5)
3. (8, 26, 12)
4. (5, 17, 4)

If the image of the point (4, 4, 3) in the line x - 12 = y - 21 = z - 13 is ( , , ), then + + is equal to
