The correct answer is: 108

Given: x-22=y-2=z-716 and x+34=y+23=z+21

x-21=y-1=z-78=λ let and x+34=y+23=z+21=k let

x=λ+2=4k-3, y=-λ=3k-2 and z=8λ+7=k-2

λ=-5+4k, λ=-3k+2, 8λ-k=-9

-5+4k=-3k+2

7k=7

k=1, λ=-31+2=-1

x=1, y=1, z=-1

P(1,1,-1)

Projection of  PQ2i^-2k^ on QR line with direction ratio 2i^+3j^+k^ is given by, 

QR=4-24+9+1=214

Now, in triangle PQR we get,

l2=8-414=10814

14l2=108
