If $\overrightarrow{p} = 4\hat{i} - \hat{j} + \hat{k}$ is a point and $\overrightarrow{q} = 9\hat{i} - 2\hat{j} + 6\hat{k}$ is a normal vector,then the perpendicular distance of the origin from the plane passing through $\overrightarrow{p}$ and perpendicular to $\overrightarrow{q}$ is

$A$ plane $\pi_1$ passing through the point $3 \hat{i}-7 \hat{j}+5 \hat{k}$ is perpendicular to the vector $\hat{i}+2 \hat{j}-2 \hat{k}$ and another plane $\pi_2$ passing through the point $2 \hat{i}+7 \hat{j}-8 \hat{k}$ is perpendicular to the vector $3 \hat{i}+2 \hat{j}+6 \hat{k}$. If $p_1$ and $p_2$ are the perpendicular distances from the origin to the planes $\pi_1$ and $\pi_2$ respectively,then $p_1-p_2=$
