Let $\ell_1$ and $\ell_2$ be the lines $\vec{r}_1=\lambda(\hat{i}+\hat{j}+\hat{k})$ and $\vec{r}_2=(\hat{j}-\hat{k})+\mu(\hat{i}+\hat{k})$,respectively. Let $X$ be the set of all the planes $H$ that contain the line $\ell_1$. For a plane $H$,let $d(H)$ denote the smallest possible distance between the points of $\ell_2$ and $H$. Let $H_0$ be the plane in $X$ for which $d(H_0)$ is the maximum value of $d(H)$ as $H$ varies over all planes in $X$. Match each entry in List-$I$ to the correct entries in List-$II$.
