Line $L_1$ passes through the point $(1, 2, 3)$ and is parallel to the $z$-axis. Line $L_2$ passes through the point $(\lambda, 5, 6)$ and is parallel to the $y$-axis. Let for $\lambda = \lambda_1, \lambda_2$ with $\lambda_2 < \lambda_1$,the shortest distance between the two lines be $3$. Then the square of the distance of the point $(\lambda_1, \lambda_2, 7)$ from the line $L_1$ is:

If the distance of the point $(a, 2, 5)$ from the image of the point $(1, 2, 7)$ in the line $\frac{x-1}{1} = \frac{y-1}{1} = \frac{z-2}{2}$ is $4$, then the sum of all possible values of $a$ is equal to :

Let $L_1$ and $L_2$ denote the lines $\overrightarrow{r} = \hat{i} + \lambda(-\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} + 2\hat{k}), \lambda \in R$ and $\overrightarrow{r} = \mu(2\hat{i} - \hat{j} + 2\hat{k}), \mu \in R$ respectively.
