Let $A$ and $B$ be two points on the line $\frac{x}{1} = \frac{y}{1} = \frac{z}{-1}$. If the distance of point $P(1, 1, 1)$ from the points $A$ and $B$ is $\sqrt{3}$,then the distance between $A$ and $B$ is:

Consider the line $L$ passing through the points $(1, 2, 3)$ and $(2, 3, 5)$. The distance of the point $A\left(\frac{11}{3}, \frac{11}{3}, \frac{19}{3}\right)$ from the line $L$ along the line $\frac{3x-11}{2} = \frac{3y-11}{1} = \frac{3z-19}{2}$ is equal to:
