The correct answer is: cos-1610

We know that angle between two planes is the same as the angle between normals of these planes 

So normal vector of plane π2 is n2=-i^+2j^-3k^-i^+3j^+2k^=-2i^-j^-5k^

Now let direction ratios of normal of plane π1 are a, b, c

Given that π1 is perpendicular to planes 

x+2y+3z-6=0 & x+2y+2z-5=0

So a+2b+3c=0 & a+2b+2c=0

Now a-2=b1=c0

So n1=-2i^+j^

Now angle between planes cosθ=n1·n2n1n2

=4-1530=356=610

θ=cos-1610
