Let the foci of the ellipse $$\frac{x^{2}}{16}+\frac{y^{2}}{7}=1$$ and the hyperbola $$\frac{x^{2}}{144}-\frac{y^{2}}{\alpha}=\frac{1}{25}$$ coincide. Then the length of the latus rectum of the hyperbola is :

A plane $$E$$ is perpendicular to the two planes $$2 x-2 y+z=0$$ and $$x-y+2 z=4$$, and passes through the point $$P(1,-1,1)$$. If the distance of the plane $$E$$ from the point $$Q(a, a, 2)$$ is $$3 \sqrt{2}$$, then $$(P Q)^{2}$$ is equal to :

The shortest distance between the lines $$\frac{x+7}{-6}=\frac{y-6}{7}=z$$ and $$\frac{7-x}{2}=y-2=z-6$$ is :

Let $$\vec{a}=\hat{i}-\hat{j}+2 \hat{k}$$ and let $$\vec{b}$$ be a vector such that $$\vec{a} \times \vec{b}=2 \hat{i}-\hat{k}$$ and $$\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}=3$$. Then the projection of $$\vec{b}$$ on the vector $$\vec{a}-\vec{b}$$ is :
