Detailed Solution

Any plane through the second line is (3xy2z+4)+λ(2x+y+z+1)=0 or (3+2λ)x+(λ1)y+(λ2)z+4+λ=0.

If this plane is parallel to the first line then its normal must be at right angle to first line. 

(3+2λ)2+(λ1)4+(λ2)0λ=0

 equation of plane through the second line and parallel to the first line is  3xy2z+4=0  . . . . .. . . .(i)

Now the required shortest distance S = perpendicular distance of a point (1, 3, – 2) on the first line to the plane

3xy2z+4=0=814
