The correct answer is: 614 units

A vector normal to P1=0 is n1=2i^+j^+k^
A vector normal to P2=0 is n2=2i^-j^+k^
Hence, the line of intersection is parallel to n1×n2
=i^j^k^2112-11=i^2-j^0+k^-4=2i^-4k^
And for point of intersection Put z=0 in
P1=0 and P2=0, i.e.
2x+y+1=0
2x-y+3=0
4x+4=0
x=1 and y=1
So point is -1,1,0
Equation of the line of intersection is
x+11=y-10=z-0-2
The line is parallel to P3=0

Hence, distance =-2+3+514
=614
