The correct answer is: 562

Given,

The line x-y+1=0 cuts the lines 2x+2y+3=0 and 3x+3y+2=0 at the points A and B respectively,

Now we can see that 2x+2y+3=0 slope =1 and 3x+3y+2=0 slope =1 are parallel lines as their slopes are equal,

Now line x-y+1=0 has slope =-1,

So  x-y+1=0 is perpendicular to both 2x+2y+3=0 & 3x+3y+2=0,

So the distance between AB is same as distance between parallel lines,

So AB=23-3212+12=565
