The correct answer is: 168
Since, distance PQ is measured parallel to the line
20x=5y=4z i.e. x1=y4=z5 .
Direction ratios of line PQ are 1,4,5

Equation of PQ
x-11=y+24=z-35=λ, (say)
A point on the line is λ+1,4λ-2,5λ+3M , (say)
Point M lies on the plane 2x+3y-4z+22=0
2λ+1+34λ-2-45λ+3+22=0
-6λ+6=0λ=1
M=2,2,8
M is the midpoint of PQ
PQ=2PM
PQ=22-12+2+22+8-32
=21+16+25
=242
|PQ|2=4×42=168
