Question

Statement 1: The shortest distance between the lines $\frac{x}{2} = \frac{y}{- 1} = \frac{z}{2}$ and $\frac{x - 1}{4} = \frac{y - 1}{- 2} = \frac{z - 1}{4}$ is $2$ . Statement 2: The shortest distance between two parallel lines is the perpendicular distance from any point on one of the lines to the other line.
