The given lines are 

L1:x32=y23=z11

L2:x+32=y61=z53

Vectors along the lines are p=2i+3j-k and q=2i+j+3k and position vectors of the point on the lines are a1=3i+2j+k   and  a2=-3i+6j+5k

Now, p×q=ijk23-1213=10i^8j^4k^ and a2a1=6i^4j^4k^

The shortest distance between the above two lines is SDSD=p×q·a2-a1p×q

Therefore, SD=60+32+16100+64+16=10865=185
