Find the shortest distance between the lines $\vec{r} = (4\hat{i} - \hat{j}) + \lambda(\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} - 3\hat{k})$ and $\vec{r} = (\hat{i} - \hat{j} + 2\hat{k}) + \mu(2\hat{i} + 4\hat{j} - 5\hat{k})$.

Find the coordinates of the foot of the perpendicular drawn from the point $(1, 0, 0)$ to the line $\frac{x - 1}{2} = \frac{y + 1}{-3} = \frac{z + 10}{8}$.

The equation of the line passing through the point $(1, 2, 3)$ and perpendicular to the lines $\frac{x-1}{1} = \frac{y-2}{2} = \frac{z-3}{3}$ and $\bar{r} = \lambda(-3 \hat{i} + 2 \hat{j} + 5 \hat{k})$ is

Lines $\frac{1-x}{3}=\frac{y-2}{1}=\frac{z-1}{2}$ and $\frac{x-2}{p}=\frac{y-1}{2}=\frac{z-2}{1}$ are mutually perpendicular to each other,then $p=$ . . . . . . .

Points $P$ and $Q$ are given by $\vec{OP} = \hat{i} - \hat{j} - \hat{k}$ and $\vec{OQ} = -\hat{i} + \hat{j} + \hat{k}$. $A$ line along the vector $\vec{a} = \hat{i} + \hat{j}$ passes through the point $P$ and another line along the vector $\vec{b} = \hat{j} - \hat{k}$ passes through the point $Q$. If a line along the vector $\vec{c} = \hat{i} - \hat{j} + \hat{k}$ intersects both the lines along the vectors $\vec{a}$ and $\vec{b}$ at $L$ and $M$ respectively,then $\vec{PM} =$

Let $Q$ be the cube with the set of vertices $\{(x_1, x_2, x_3) \in \mathbb{R}^3: x_1, x_2, x_3 \in \{0,1\}\}$. Let $F$ be the set of all twelve lines containing the diagonals of the six faces of the cube $Q$. Let $S$ be the set of all four lines containing the main diagonals of the cube $Q$; for instance,the line passing through the vertices $(0,0,0)$ and $(1,1,1)$ is in $S$. For lines $\ell_1$ and $\ell_2$,let $d(\ell_1, \ell_2)$ denote the shortest distance between them. Then the maximum value of $d(\ell_1, \ell_2)$,as $\ell_1$ varies over $F$ and $\ell_2$ varies over $S$,is
