(C) Let the equation of the plane passing through $(1, -1, -1)$ be $a(x - 1) + b(y + 1) + c(z + 1) = 0$.The normal vector $\vec{n}$ is perpendicular to the direction vectors of the two lines,$\vec{v_1} = (1, -2, 3)$ and $\vec{v_2} = (2, -1, -1)$.$\vec{n} = \vec{v_1} 	imes \vec{v_2} = \begin{vmatrix} \hat{i} & \hat{j} & \hat{k} \ 1 & -2 & 3 \ 2 & -1 & -1 \end{vmatrix} = \hat{i}(2 + 3) - \hat{j}(-1 - 6) + \hat{k}(-1 + 4) = 5\hat{i} + 7\hat{j} + 3\hat{k}$.Thus,the equation of the plane is $5(x - 1) + 7(y + 1) + 3(z + 1) = 0$,which simplifies to $5x + 7y + 3z + 5 = 0$.The distance of the point $(1, 3, -7)$ from the plane $Ax + By + Cz + D = 0$ is given by $d = \frac{|Ax_0 + By_0 + Cz_0 + D|}{\sqrt{A^2 + B^2 + C^2}}$.Substituting the values,$d = \frac{|5(1) + 7(3) + 3(-7) + 5|}{\sqrt{5^2 + 7^2 + 3^2}} = \frac{|5 + 21 - 21 + 5|}{\sqrt{25 + 49 + 9}} = \frac{10}{\sqrt{83}}$.

The distance of the point $(1, 3, -7)$ from the plane passing through the point $(1, -1, -1)$ and having a normal perpendicular to both the lines $\frac{x - 1}{1} = \frac{y + 2}{-2} = \frac{z - 4}{3}$ and $\frac{x - 2}{2} = \frac{y + 1}{-1} = \frac{z + 7}{-1}$ is . . . .
