The line l1 passes through the point with position vector 8i + 8j 7k and is parallel to the vector
4i + 3j. The line l2 passes through the point with position vector 7i 2j + 4k and is parallel to the
vector 4i k. The point P on l1 and the point Q on l2 are such that PQ is perpendicular to both l1 and
l2 . In either order,
(i) show that PQ = 13,
(ii) find the position vectors of P and Q.
