Find the equation of the plane containing the lines $\vec{r} = (\hat{i} + \hat{j}) + \lambda(\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} - \hat{k})$ and $\vec{r} = (\hat{i} + \hat{j}) + \mu(-\hat{i} + \hat{j} - 2\hat{k})$.

The equation of the plane passing through the intersection of the planes $x + y + z = 1$ and $2x + 3y - z + 4 = 0$ and parallel to the $x$-axis is:

Let a line $L_1$ pass through the origin and be perpendicular to the lines $L_2: \vec{r} = (3+t)\hat{i} + (2t-1)\hat{j} + (2t+4)\hat{k}$ and $L_3: \vec{r} = (3+2s)\hat{i} + (3+2s)\hat{j} + (2+s)\hat{k}$, where $t, s \in R$. If $(a, b, c)$, with $a \in Z$, is the point on $L_3$ at a distance of $\sqrt{17}$ from the point of intersection of $L_1$ and $L_2$, then $(a+b+c)^2$ is equal to . . . . . . .

$A$ perpendicular is drawn from a point $P$ on the line $\frac{x - 1}{2} = \frac{y + 1}{-1} = \frac{z}{1}$ to the plane $x + y + z = 3$ such that the foot of the perpendicular $Q$ also lies on the plane $x - y + z = 3$. Then the coordinates of $Q$ are

Show that the planes $\vec{r} \cdot (\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} + 2\hat{k}) = 19$ and $\vec{r} \cdot (4\hat{i} - 3\hat{j} + 12\hat{k}) + 3 = 0$ are perpendicular. Find the equation of the plane containing these two lines (Note: The question asks for the plane containing the intersection of these two planes).
