Let a straight line $L$ pass through the point $P(2, -1, 3)$ and be perpendicular to the lines $\frac{x-1}{2} = \frac{y+1}{1} = \frac{z-3}{-2}$ and $\frac{x-3}{1} = \frac{y-2}{3} = \frac{z+2}{4}$. If the line $L$ intersects the $yz$-plane at the point $Q$,then the distance between the points $P$ and $Q$ is:

If the length of the perpendicular drawn from the point $P(a, 4, 2)$,$a > 0$ on the line $\frac{x+1}{2} = \frac{y-3}{3} = \frac{z-1}{-1}$ is $2\sqrt{6}$ units and $Q(\alpha_{1}, \alpha_{2}, \alpha_{3})$ is the image of the point $P$ in this line,then $a + \sum_{i=1}^{3} \alpha_{i}$ is equal to.

The line $l_1$ passes through the point $(2, 6, 2)$ and is perpendicular to the plane $2x + y - 2z = 10$. Then the shortest distance between the line $l_1$ and the line $\frac{x + 1}{2} = \frac{y + 4}{-3} = \frac{z}{2}$ is :
