The correct answer is:
$13 / \sqrt{75}$
$13 / \sqrt{75}$
The equation of the plane passing through the point $(-1,-2,-1)$ and whose normal is perpendicular to both the given lines $L_1$ and $L_2$ may be written as
$$
\begin{array}{rlrl}
\Rightarrow \quad(x+1)+7(y+2)-5(z+1) & =0 \\
& x+7 y-5 z+10 & =0
\end{array}
$$
The distance of the point $(1,1,1)$ from the plane
$$
=\left|\frac{1+7-5+10}{\sqrt{1+49+25}}\right|=\frac{13}{\sqrt{75}}
$$
$$
