The correct answer is: 323

Let <a,b,c> be direction ratios of plane containing the line x2=y3=z5 and x3=y7=z8

Since plane normal will be perpendicular to given lines then by condition of perpendicular lines, 

2a+3b+5c=0 ....1 and 3a+7b+8c=0.....2 

On solving 1 & 2 we get,

a24-35=b15-16=c14-9

So, DR of plane are<11,1,-5>

Now let DR of plane P be <a1,b1,c1>

Then, 11a1+b1-5c1=0 ....3

And 9a1-b1-5c1=0......4 (as plane normal will be perpendicular to given line x-39=y+4-1=z-7-5)

Now solving equation 3 & 4 we get, direction ratio 1,-1,2

So, equation of plane will be x-y+2z=21

Now finding distance of point 2,-5,11 from plane x-y+2z=21

d=2+5+22-2112+12+22

 d=86

d2=323
