The correct answer is: 785 units
Both the given lines are parallel to b=i^+2j^+2k^

Let the angle between the line and 6i^-3j^+2k^ is θ
cosθ=i^+2j^+2k^6i^3j^+2k^3×7=421
Let the 1st line is passing through a=0 and the 2nd line is passing through c=-i^-2j^-3k^
AC= distance between the parallel lines =a-c×bb
=i^+2j^+3k^×i^+2j^+2k^3=53
AB=ACsec90-θ=ACcosecθ
=53×21425=785
