If $d_1$ is the shortest distance between the lines $x+1=2y=-12z$ and $x=y+2=6z-6$,and $d_2$ is the shortest distance between the lines $\frac{x-1}{2}=\frac{y+8}{-7}=\frac{z-4}{5}$ and $\frac{x-1}{2}=\frac{y-2}{1}=\frac{z-6}{-3}$,then the value of $\frac{32 \sqrt{3} d_1}{d_2}$ is:

$ABC$ is a triangle with vertices $A(2, 3, 5)$,$B(-1, 3, 2)$,and $C(\lambda, 5, \mu)$. If the median through $A$ is equally inclined to the coordinate axes,then the value of $(\lambda^3 + \mu^3 + 5)$ is equal to:

$P, Q, R$ and $S$ are four points with the position vectors $3i-4j+5k, 0i+0j+4k, -4i+5j+1k$ and $-3i+4j+3k$,respectively. Then,the line $PQ$ meets the line $RS$ at the point

Assertion $(A)$: For the lines $\overline{r}=\overline{a}+t \overline{b}$ and $\overline{r}=\overline{p}+s \overline{q}$,if $(\bar{a}-\bar{p}) \cdot(\bar{b} \times \bar{q}) \neq 0$,then the two lines are coplanar.
Reason $(R)$: $|(\bar{a}-\bar{p}) \cdot(\bar{b} \times \bar{q})|$ is $|\bar{b} \times \bar{q}|$ times the shortest distance between the lines $\overline{r}=\overline{a}+t\bar{b}$ and $\overline{r}=\overline{p}+s \overline{q}$.
