For real numbers α and β ≠ 0, if the point of intersection of the straight lines (x-α)/1 = (y-1)/2 = (z-1)/3 and (x-4)/β = (y-6)/3 = (z-7)/3 lies on the plane x+2y-z = 8, then α - β is equal to:

Direction ratio of line (1, -1, -6)
Equation of line (x−3)/1 = (y+4)/-1 = (z+5)/-6 =k
x=k+3, y=−k−4, z=−6k−5
Solving with plane k=−2
⇒x=1, y=−2, z=7
⇒Distance=√ (3−1)²+6²+3²=√49=7

f (x)= {sinx, 0≤x<π/2; 1, π/2≤x≤π 2+cosx, x>π}
f' (x)= {cosx, 0π}
f' (π/2? ) = 0
f' (π/2? ) = 0
f' (π? ) = 0
f' (π? ) = 0
⇒ f (x) is differentiable in (0, ∞)

Let direction ratio of the normal to the required plane are l, m, n

$\begin{array}{l}\therefore 3l+m-2n=0\\ \therefore 2l-5m-n=0\\ \therefore \frac{l}{-11}=\frac{m}{-1}=\frac{n}{-17}\end{array}$             

Equation of required plane

11 (x – 1) + 1 (y – 2) + 17 (z + 3) = 0

Any point on line  $\frac{x-3}{1}=\frac{y-4}{2}=\frac{z-5}{2}=r$ is P (r + 3, 2r + 4, 2r + 5) lies on x + y + z = 17,

5r + 12 = 17

r = 1

$P\left(4,6,7\right)A\left(1,1,9\right)distAP=\sqrt[]{9+25+4}=\sqrt[]{38}$  

$L_1=\frac{x-\lambda }{1}=\frac{y-\frac{1}{2}}{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{z}{-\frac{1}{2}}$           

$\therefore SD=\frac{\left|-2\lambda +3\left(2\lambda +\frac{1}{2}\right)+\lambda \right|}{\sqrt[]{14}}=\frac{\left|5\lambda +\frac{3}{2}\right|}{\sqrt[]{14}}$           

$5\lambda +\frac{3}{2}=-\frac{7}{2}\Rightarrow 5\lambda =-5\Rightarrow \lambda =-1$           

$\therefore \left|\lambda \right|=1$
