The point of intersection $C$ of the plane $8x+y+2z=0$ and the line joining the points $A(-3,-6,1)$ and $B(2,4,-3)$ divides the line segment $AB$ internally in the ratio $k:1$. If $a, b, c$ ($|a|, |b|, |c|$ are coprime) are the direction ratios of the perpendicular from the point $C$ on the line $\frac{1-x}{1}=\frac{y+4}{2}=\frac{z+2}{3}$,then $|a+b+c|$ is equal to $.............$.

Let the lines $L_{1}: \overrightarrow{r} = \lambda(\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} + 3\hat{k}), \lambda \in R$ and $L_{2}: \overrightarrow{r} = (\hat{i} + 3\hat{j} + \hat{k}) + \mu(\hat{i} + \hat{j} + 5\hat{k}), \mu \in R$ intersect at the point $S$. If a plane $ax + by - z + d = 0$ passes through $S$ and is parallel to both the lines $L_{1}$ and $L_{2}$,then the value of $a + b + d$ is equal to:
