The lines \(\frac{x-2}{2}=\frac{y}{-2}=\frac{z-7}{16}\) and \(\frac{x+3}{4}=\frac{y+2}{3}=\frac{z+2}{1}\) intersect at the point P. If the distance of P from the line \(\frac{{x}+1}{2}=\frac{{y}-1}{3}=\frac{{z}-1}{1}\) is \(l\), then \(14 l^{2}\) is equal to ______.

Correct answer: 108

\(\frac{x-2}{1}=\frac{y}{-1}=\frac{z-7}{8}=\lambda\)

\(\frac{\mathrm{x}+3}{4}=\frac{\mathrm{y}+2}{3}=\frac{\mathrm{z}+2}{1}=\mathrm{k}\)

\(\Rightarrow \lambda+2=4 \mathrm{k}-3\)

\(-\lambda=3 \mathrm{k}-2\)

\(\Rightarrow \mathrm{k}=1, \lambda=-1\)

\(8 \lambda+7=\mathrm{k}-2\)

\(\therefore \mathrm{P}=(1,1,-1)\)

Lines intersect at the point P.

Projection of \(2 \hat{i}-2 \hat{k}\) on \(2 \hat{i}+3 \hat{j}+\hat{k}\) is

\(=\frac{4-2}{\sqrt{4+9+1}}\)

\(=\frac{2}{\sqrt{14}}\)

\(\therefore l^{2}=8-\frac{4}{14}=\frac{108}{14}\)

\(\Rightarrow 14 l^{2}=108\)
