The correct answer is: 132
Direction Ratio's of the line L1

ijk2-231-11

=i1-j -1+k(0)

= 1, 1, 0

At y=0

2x+3z=2x+z=-1  (-5,0,4) is point

Equation of L1

x+51=y1=z-40=α

Similarly for L2

x-753=y-5=z+85-7=β

Point of intersection of L1 and L2

(-1,4,4)

Direction Ratio's of normal to plane passing through L1 and L2 =ijk1103-5-7=i-7-j-7+k-5-3=-7i+7j-8k=-7, 7, -8

Equation of plane

-7x+7y-8z=c .

c=3   (Since plane passes through(-1,4,4) )

Equation of plane

7x-7y+8 z+3=0

Distance from origin

=372+-72+82=3162=392

=132
