Let the position vectors of the vertices A,B and C of a triangle be 2\overset{^}{i} + 2\overset{^}{j} + \overset{^}{k}, \overset{^}{i} + 2\overset{^}{j} + 2\overset{^}{k} and 2\overset{^}{i} + \overset{^}{j} + 2\overset{^}{k} respectively. Let l1,l2 and l3 be the lengths of perpendiculars drawn from the ortho centre of the triangle on the sides AB,BC and CA respectively, then l12+l22+l32 equals :
