The plane \(\Pi\) contains the lines \(\mathbf{r} = 3\mathbf{i} - 2\mathbf{j} + \mathbf{k} + \lambda(-\mathbf{i} + 2\mathbf{j} + \mathbf{k})\) and \(\mathbf{r} = 4\mathbf{i} + 4\mathbf{j} + 2\mathbf{k} + \mu(3\mathbf{i} + 2\mathbf{j} - \mathbf{k})\).

(a) Find a Cartesian equation of \(\Pi\), giving your answer in the form \(ax + by + cz = d\). [4]

The line \(l\) passes through the point \(P\) with position vector \(2\mathbf{i} + 3\mathbf{j} + \mathbf{k}\) and is parallel to the vector \(\mathbf{j} + \mathbf{k}\).

(b) Find the acute angle between \(l\) and \(\Pi\). [3]

(c) Find the position vector of the foot of the perpendicular from \(P\) to \(\Pi\). [4]
