Verified by ExpertsC
The direction ratio of line parallel to the line of the shortest distance between the lines
and 
is given by,
Now given line passing through A(-1,2,3)
And having direction ratio (1,-1,-2)
So the equation, given by.
Let the line intersect the plane at 
lies on the plane 
Hence, point 
So, the distance of point 
from point 
will be,
