$\begin{aligned} & \gamma+2=\frac{16}{6} \\ & \gamma=\frac{16-12}{6} \\ & \gamma=\frac{4}{6} \\ & \Rightarrow \alpha+\beta+6 \gamma \\ & \Rightarrow \frac{-1}{3}+\frac{7}{3}+6 \times \frac{4}{6} \\ & \Rightarrow 2+4=6 \end{aligned}$

Explanation:
$\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{M}(3 \lambda+1,2 \lambda+2,-2 \lambda-1) \quad \therefore \alpha+\beta+\gamma=3 \lambda+2 \\ & \mathrm{~N}(-3 \mu-2,-2 \mu+2,4 \mu+1) \quad \therefore \mathrm{a}+\mathrm{b}+\mathrm{c}=-\mu+1 \end{aligned}$

$\begin{aligned} & \frac{3 \lambda+2}{-3 \mu-1}=\frac{2 \lambda}{-2 \mu}=\frac{-2 \lambda-4}{4 \mu-2} \\ & 3 \lambda \mu+2 \mu=3 \lambda \mu+\lambda \\ & 2 \mu=\lambda \\ & 2 \lambda \mu-\lambda=\lambda \mu+2 \mu \\ & \lambda \mu=\lambda+2 \mu \\ &\Rightarrow \lambda \mu=2 \lambda \end{aligned}$

If $\mathrm{d}_1$ is the shortest distance between the lines $x+1=2 y=-12 z, x=y+2=6 z-6$ and $\mathrm{d}_2$ is the shortest distance between the lines $\frac{x-1}{2}=\frac{y+8}{-7}=\frac{z-4}{5}, \frac{x-1}{2}=\frac{y-2}{1}=\frac{z-6}{-3}$, then the value of $\frac{32 \sqrt{3} \mathrm{~d}_1}{\mathrm{~d}_2}$ is :
Explanation:
$\mathrm{L}_1: \frac{\mathrm{x}+1}{1}=\frac{\mathrm{y}}{1 / 2}=\frac{\mathrm{z}}{-1 / 12}, \mathrm{~L}_2: \frac{\mathrm{x}}{1}=\frac{\mathrm{y}+2}{1}=\frac{\mathrm{z}-1}{\frac{1}{6}}$
$\mathrm{d}_1=$ shortest distance between $\mathrm{L}_1 ~\& \mathrm{~L}_2$
$\begin{aligned} & =\left|\frac{\left(\vec{a}_2-\vec{a}_1\right) \cdot\left(\vec{b}_1 \times \vec{b}_2\right)}{\left|\left(\vec{b}_1 \times \vec{b}_2\right)\right|}\right| \\ & d_1=2 \\ & \mathrm{~L}_3: \frac{\mathrm{x}-1}{2}=\frac{\mathrm{y}+8}{-7}=\frac{\mathrm{z}-4}{5}, \mathrm{~L}_4: \frac{\mathrm{x}-1}{2}=\frac{\mathrm{y}-2}{1}=\frac{\mathrm{z}-6}{-3} \\ & \mathrm{~d}_2=\text { shortest distance between } \mathrm{L}_3 ~\& \mathrm{~L}_4 \\ & \mathrm{~d}_2=\frac{12}{\sqrt{3}} \text { Hence } \\ & =\frac{32 \sqrt{3} \mathrm{~d}_1}{\mathrm{~d}_2}=\frac{32 \sqrt{3} \times 2}{\frac{12}{\sqrt{3}}}=16 \end{aligned}$
Let O be the origin, and M and $\mathrm{N}$ be the points on the lines $\frac{x-5}{4}=\frac{y-4}{1}=\frac{z-5}{3}$ and $\frac{x+8}{12}=\frac{y+2}{5}=\frac{z+11}{9}$ respectively such that $\mathrm{MN}$ is the shortest distance between the given lines. Then $\overrightarrow{O M} \cdot \overrightarrow{O N}$ is equal to _________.
Explanation:
$\mathrm{L}_1: \frac{\mathrm{x}-5}{4}=\frac{\mathrm{y}-4}{1}=\frac{\mathrm{z}-5}{3}=\lambda \quad \operatorname{drs}(4,1,3)=\mathrm{b}_1$
$\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{M}(4 \lambda+5, \lambda+4,3 \lambda+5) \\ & \mathrm{L}_2: \frac{\mathrm{x}+8}{12}=\frac{\mathrm{y}+2}{5}=\frac{\mathrm{z}+11}{9}=\mu \\ & \mathrm{N}(12 \mu-8,5 \mu-2,9 \mu-11) \\ & \overrightarrow{\mathrm{MN}}=(4 \lambda-12 \mu+13, \lambda-5 \mu+6,3 \lambda-9 \mu+16) \quad \text{..... (1)} \end{aligned}$
Now
$\overrightarrow{\mathrm{b}}_1 \times \overrightarrow{\mathrm{b}}_2=\left|\begin{array}{ccc} \hat{\mathrm{i}} & \hat{\mathrm{j}} & \hat{\mathrm{k}} \\ 4 & 1 & 3 \\ 12 & 5 & 9 \end{array}\right|=-6 \hat{\mathrm{i}}+8 \hat{\mathrm{k}} \quad \text{.... (2)}$
Equation (1) and (2)
$\therefore \frac{4 \lambda-12 \mu+13}{-6}=\frac{\lambda-5 \mu+6}{0}=\frac{3 \lambda-9 \mu+16}{8}$
I and II
$\lambda-5 \mu+6=0 \quad \text{.... (3)}$
I and III
$\lambda-3 \mu+4=0 \quad \text{.... (4)}$
Solve (3) and (4) we get
$\begin{aligned} \lambda= & -1, \mu=1 \\ \therefore \quad & \mathrm{M}(1,3,2) \\ & \mathrm{N}(4,3,-2) \\ \therefore \quad & \overrightarrow{\mathrm{OM}} \cdot \overrightarrow{\mathrm{ON}}=4+9-4=9 \end{aligned}$
A line with direction ratios $2,1,2$ meets the lines $x=y+2=z$ and $x+2=2 y=2 z$ respectively at the points $\mathrm{P}$ and $\mathrm{Q}$. If the length of the perpendicular from the point $(1,2,12)$ to the line $\mathrm{PQ}$ is $l$, then $l^2$ is __________.
Explanation:
Let $\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{t}, \mathrm{t}-2, \mathrm{t})$ and $\mathrm{Q}(2 \mathrm{~s}-2, \mathrm{~s}, \mathrm{~s})$
D.R's of PQ are 2, 1, 2
$\begin{aligned} & \frac{2 \mathrm{~s}-2-\mathrm{t}}{2}=\frac{\mathrm{s}-\mathrm{t}+2}{1}=\frac{\mathrm{s}-\mathrm{t}}{2} \\ & \Rightarrow \mathrm{t}=6 \text { and } \mathrm{s}=2 \\ & \Rightarrow \mathrm{P}(6,4,6) \text { and } \mathrm{Q}(2,2,2) \\ & \mathrm{PQ}: \frac{\mathrm{x}-2}{2}=\frac{\mathrm{y}-2}{1}=\frac{\mathrm{z}-2}{2}=\lambda \end{aligned}$
Let $\mathrm{F}(2 \lambda+2, \lambda+2,2 \lambda+2)$
$\mathrm{A}(1,2,12)$
$\overrightarrow{\mathrm{AF}} \cdot \overrightarrow{\mathrm{PQ}}=0$
$\therefore \lambda=2$
So $F(6,4,6)$ and $A F=\sqrt{65}$

The lines $\frac{x-2}{2}=\frac{y}{-2}=\frac{z-7}{16}$ and $\frac{x+3}{4}=\frac{y+2}{3}=\frac{z+2}{1}$ intersect at the point $P$. If the distance of $\mathrm{P}$ from the line $\frac{x+1}{2}=\frac{y-1}{3}=\frac{z-1}{1}$ is $l$, then $14 l^2$ is equal to __________.
Explanation:
$\begin{aligned} & \frac{\mathrm{x}-2}{1}=\frac{\mathrm{y}}{-1}=\frac{\mathrm{z}-7}{8}=\lambda \\ & \frac{\mathrm{x}+3}{4}=\frac{\mathrm{y}+2}{3}=\frac{\mathrm{z}+2}{1}=\mathrm{k} \\ & \Rightarrow \lambda+2=4 \mathrm{k}-3 \\ & -\lambda=3 \mathrm{k}-2 \\ & \Rightarrow \mathrm{k}=1, \lambda=-1 \\ & 8 \lambda+7=\mathrm{k}-2 \\ & \therefore \mathrm{P}=(1,1,-1) \end{aligned}$

Projection of $2 \hat{i}-2 \hat{k}$ on $2 \hat{i}+3 \hat{j}+\hat{k}$ is
$\begin{aligned} & =\frac{4-2}{\sqrt{4+9+1}}=\frac{2}{\sqrt{14}} \\ & \therefore l^2=8-\frac{4}{14}=\frac{108}{14} \\ & \Rightarrow 14 l^2=108 \end{aligned}$
Let $\gamma \in \mathbb{R}$ be such that the lines $L_1: \frac{x+11}{1}=\frac{y+21}{2}=\frac{z+29}{3}$ and $L_2: \frac{x+16}{3}=\frac{y+11}{2}=\frac{z+4}{\gamma}$ intersect. Let $R_1$ be the point of intersection of $L_1$ and $L_2$. Let $O=(0,0,0)$, and $\hat{n}$ denote a unit normal vector to the plane containing both the lines $L_1$ and $L_2$.
Match each entry in List-I to the correct entry in List-II.
| List-I | List-II |
|---|---|
| (P) $\gamma$ equals | (1) $-\hat{i} - \hat{j} + \hat{k}$ |
| (Q) A possible choice for $\hat{n}$ is | (2) $\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}$ |
| (R) $\overrightarrow{OR_1}$ equals | (3) $1$ |
| (S) A possible value of $\overrightarrow{OR_1} \cdot \hat{n}$ is | (4) $\frac{1}{\sqrt{6}} \hat{i} - \frac{2}{\sqrt{6}} \hat{j} + \frac{1}{\sqrt{6}} \hat{k}$ |
| (5) $\sqrt{\frac{2}{3}}$ |
The correct option is :
Let $\mathbb{R}^3$ denote the three-dimensional space. Take two points $P=(1,2,3)$ and $Q=(4,2,7)$. Let $\operatorname{dist}(X, Y)$ denote the distance between two points $X$ and $Y$ in $\mathbb{R}^3$. Let
$ \begin{gathered} S=\left\{X \in \mathbb{R}^3:(\operatorname{dist}(X, P))^2-(\operatorname{dist}(X, Q))^2=50\right\} \text { and } \\ T=\left\{Y \in \mathbb{R}^3:(\operatorname{dist}(Y, Q))^2-(\operatorname{dist}(Y, P))^2=50\right\} . \end{gathered} $
Then which of the following statements is (are) TRUE?
$-x+2 y-9 z=7$
$-x+3 y+7 z=9$
$-2 x+y+5 z=8$
$-3 x+y+13 z=\lambda$
has a unique solution $x=\alpha, y=\beta, z=\gamma$. Then the distance of the point
$(\alpha, \beta, \gamma)$ from the plane $2 x-2 y+z=\lambda$ is :
the lines $\frac{x-\lambda}{0}=\frac{y-3}{4}=\frac{z+6}{1}$ and $\frac{x+\lambda}{3}=\frac{y}{-4}=\frac{z-6}{0}$ is 13. Then $8\left|\sum\limits_{\lambda \in S} \lambda\right|$ is equal to :
The line, that is coplanar to the line $\frac{x+3}{-3}=\frac{y-1}{1}=\frac{z-5}{5}$, is :
The plane, passing through the points $(0,-1,2)$ and $(-1,2,1)$ and parallel to the line passing through $(5,1,-7)$ and $(1,-1,-1)$, also passes through the point :
