Solution

The correct option is B 27
Equation of plane containing L1 is given by,
a(x2)+b(y1)+c(z+1)=0
Now this plane is perpendicular to both the given lines
a+2c=0..(1)
and a+bc=0..(2)
Solving (1) and (2), we get a=2c and b=3c
Therefore plane is 2(x2)+3(y1)+(z+1)=0
2x+3y+z+2=0
Hence, distance of this plane from origin is
=222+32+12=27
