Consider the lines L₁ : (x-1)/2 = y/(-1) = (z+3)/1, L₂ : (x-4)/1 = (y+3)/1 = (z+3)/2 and the planes P₁ : 7x + y + 2z = 3, P₂ : 3x + 5y - 6z = 4. Let ax + by + cz = d be the equation of the plane passing through the point of intersection of lines L₁ and L₂, and perpendicular to planes P₁ and P₂. Match List I with List II and select the correct answer using the code given below the lists : | List I | List II | | --- | --- | | (P) a = | (1) 13 | | (Q) b = | (
