4. The line  1 is parallel to the vector i+2k and passes through the point A with position vector

3i+2j+5k relative to an origin O. Find the position vector of the point P on  1 such that OP is

perpendicular to  1 . Hence find the perpendicular distance from O to  1 .

A second line  2 is parallel to the vector i+j+3k and passes through the point B with position

vector 2i+3j+pk , where p is a constant. Given that the lines  1 and  2 meet at C, find the
