3D Geometry · Distance between parallel lines

Let the foot of perpendicular from the point (λ,2,3)(\lambda, 2, 3) on the line x−41=y−92=z−51\dfrac{x-4}{1} = \dfrac{y-9}{2} = \dfrac{z-5}{1} be the point (1,μ,2)(1, \mu, 2). Then the distance between the lines x−12=y−23=z+46\dfrac{x-1}{2} = \dfrac{y-2}{3} = \dfrac{z+4}{6} and x−λ2=y−μ3=z+56\dfrac{x-\lambda}{2} = \dfrac{y-\mu}{3} = \dfrac{z+5}{6} is equal to
  1. (1)127\dfrac{12}{7}
  2. (2)1457\dfrac{\sqrt{145}}{7}
  3. (3)1467\dfrac{\sqrt{146}}{7}
  4. (4)1437\dfrac{\sqrt{143}}{7}
