Read carefully, then pick the best option.
Let P P be the foot of the perpendicular from the point (1,2,2) (1, 2, 2) on the line L:x11=y+12=z22 L : \frac{x-1}{1} = \frac{y+1}{2} = \frac{z-2}{2} . Let the line r=(i^+j^2k^)+λ(i^j^+k^),λR \vec{r} = (-\hat{i} + \hat{j} - 2\hat{k}) + \lambda(\hat{i} - \hat{j} + \hat{k}), \lambda \in \mathbb{R} , intersect the line L L at Q Q . Then 2(PQ)2 2(PQ)^2 is equal to
