(a) The direction vectors of the lines in the plane are:
\(\overrightarrow{AB} = \begin{pmatrix} -2 \\ 1 \\ 4 \end{pmatrix}, \ \overrightarrow{AC} = \begin{pmatrix} -3 \\ 0 \\ 2 \end{pmatrix}\)
The normal vector to the plane is found using the cross product:
\(\mathbf{n} = \begin{vmatrix} \mathbf{i} & \mathbf{j} & \mathbf{k} \\ -2 & 1 & 4 \\ -3 & 0 & 2 \end{vmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ -2 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix}\)
The equation of the plane is \(x - 2y + z = d\). Substituting point \(A(1, 1, 0)\) gives \(d = -1\).
(b) The perpendicular distance from \(O\) to the plane is:
\(\frac{1}{\sqrt{1^2 + (-2)^2 + 1^2}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{6}} \approx 0.408\)
(c) Let \(\overrightarrow{OP} = \begin{pmatrix} -2\lambda \\ \lambda \\ 3\lambda \end{pmatrix}\) and \(\overrightarrow{OQ} = \begin{pmatrix} 1 - 2\mu \\ 1 + \mu \\ 4\mu \end{pmatrix}\).
\(\overrightarrow{PQ} = \begin{pmatrix} 1 + \mu - \lambda \\ 4\mu - 3\lambda \end{pmatrix}\).
Using the dot product with the line direction \(\begin{pmatrix} -2 \\ 1 \\ 3 \end{pmatrix}\):
\((1 - 2\mu + 2\lambda) \cdot (-2) + (1 + \mu - \lambda) \cdot 1 + (4\mu - 3\lambda) \cdot 3 = 0\)
Solving gives \(\lambda = \frac{4}{5}\).
The vector equation is \(\mathbf{r} = \frac{-4}{5} \begin{pmatrix} -2 \\ 1 \\ 3 \end{pmatrix} + k \begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ 2 \\ 0 \end{pmatrix}\).
