Standard +0.3 This is a standard perpendicular from origin to line problem requiring dot product of position vector with direction vector equals zero, then solving for λ. It's slightly easier than average as it's a routine application of a well-practiced technique with straightforward arithmetic, though it does require understanding of perpendicularity conditions in 3D.

The point \(P\) lies on \(l _ { 1 }\). Given that \(\overrightarrow { O P }\) is perpendicular to \(l _ { 1 }\), calculate the coordinates of \(P\).\\
(ii) Relative to a fixed origin \(O\), the line \(l _ { 2 }\) is given by the equation
