Let a plane $P$ contain two lines $\overrightarrow{r} = \hat{i} + \lambda(\hat{i} + \hat{j}), \lambda \in R$ and $\overrightarrow{r} = -\hat{j} + \mu(\hat{j} - \hat{k}), \mu \in R$. If $Q(\alpha, \beta, \gamma)$ is the foot of the perpendicular drawn from the point $M(1, 0, 1)$ to $P$,then $3(\alpha + \beta + \gamma)$ equals

    $6$

The plane $2x - y + 3z + 5 = 0$ is rotated through $90^o$ about its line of intersection with the plane $5x - 4y - 2z + 1 = 0$. The equation of the plane in its new position is:

$A$ plane $\pi_1$ contains the vectors $\bar{i}+\bar{j}$ and $\bar{i}+2\bar{j}$. Another plane $\pi_2$ contains the vectors $2\bar{i}-\bar{j}$ and $3\bar{i}+2\bar{k}$. $\bar{a}$ is a vector parallel to the line of intersection of $\pi_1$ and $\pi_2$. If the angle $\theta$ between $\bar{a}$ and $\bar{i}-2\bar{j}+2\bar{k}$ is acute, then $\theta=$
