3. Answer (AC)
The coordinates of any point on the given line are  2r  1,  3r  1, r 
The distance of this point from the point 1,  1, 0  is given to be 4 14 .

6. Answer (A)
Let PQ be the line of shortest distance between l1 and l2 . Now l1 passes through A1  a1  and
is parallel to b1 and l2 passes through A2  a2  and is parallel to b2 . Since PQ is
perpendicular to both l1 and l2 , it is parallel to l1 and l2 . Let n be the unit vector along PQ

7. Answer (D)
The given lines intersect, if the shortest distance between the lines is zero. We know that the
 a1  a2   b1  b2
shortest distance between the lines r  a1   b1 and r  a2   b2 is . So the
