The shortest distance between the lines $\vec{r}=\left(\dfrac{1}{3}\hat{i}+2\hat{j}+\dfrac{8}{3}\hat{k}\right)+\lambda(2\hat{i}-5\hat{j}+6\hat{k})$ and $\vec{r}=\left(-\dfrac{2}{3}\hat{i}-\dfrac{1}{3}\hat{k}\right)+\mu(\hat{j}-\hat{k})$, $\lambda,\mu \in \mathbb{R}$, is:

If the distance of the point $\mathrm{P}(43, \alpha, \beta), \beta<0$, from the line $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{r}}=4 \hat{i}-\hat{k}+\mu(2 \hat{i}+3 \hat{k}), \mu \in \mathbf{R}$ along a line with direction ratios $3,-1,0$ is $13 \sqrt{10}$, then $\alpha^{2}+\beta^{2}$ is equal to $\_\_\_\_$

The volume of the parallelepiped formed by vectors a=i+2j-k, b=2i-j+3k, c=3i+j+2k is:

If the distances of the point $(1,2, a)$ from the line $\frac{x-1}{1}=\frac{y}{2}=\frac{z-1}{1}$ along the lines $\mathrm{L}_{1}: \frac{x-1}{3}=\frac{y-2}{4}=\frac{z-a}{b}$ and $\mathrm{L}_{2}: \frac{x-1}{1}=\frac{y-2}{4}=\frac{z-a}{c}$ are equal, then $a+b+c$ is equal to

For a triangle ABC, let $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{p}}=\overrightarrow{\mathrm{BC}}, \overrightarrow{\mathrm{q}}=\overrightarrow{\mathrm{CA}}$ and $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{r}}=\overrightarrow{\mathrm{BA}}$. If $|\overrightarrow{\mathrm{p}}|=2 \sqrt{3},|\overrightarrow{\mathrm{q}}|=2$ and $\cos \theta=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$, where $\theta$ is the angle between $\vec{p}$ and $\vec{q}$, then $|\vec{p} \times(\vec{q}-3 \vec{r})|^{2}+3|\vec{r}|^{2}$ is equal to :
