EITHER

The lines \(l_1\) and \(l_2\) have equations

\(\mathbf r=6\mathbf i-3\mathbf j+s(3\mathbf i-4\mathbf j-2\mathbf k)\quad\text{and}\quad \mathbf r=2\mathbf i-\mathbf j-4\mathbf k+t(\mathbf i-3\mathbf j-\mathbf k)\)

respectively. The point \(P\) on \(l_1\) and the point \(Q\) on \(l_2\) are such that \(PQ\) is perpendicular to both \(l_1\) and \(l_2\). Show that the position vector of \(P\) is \(3\mathbf i+\mathbf j+2\mathbf k\) and find the position vector of \(Q\).

Find, in the form \(\mathbf r=\mathbf a+\lambda\mathbf b+\mu\mathbf c\), an equation of the plane \(\Pi\) which passes through \(P\) and is perpendicular to \(l_1\).

The plane \(\Pi\) meets the plane \(\mathbf r=p\mathbf i+q\mathbf j\) in the line \(l_3\). Find a vector equation of \(l_3\).
