The correct answer is: x1=y-5-2=z+21

Let point Q is x1,y1,z1
D.R’s of PQ are x1-1,y1-1,z1-1
1x1-1+1y1-1+1z1-1=0
x1+y1+z1=3
Also x1+2y1+3z1=4
x1+y1+z1=3
x1,y1,z1 is a point on the two planes
x+2y+3z=4
x+y+z=3
 the line on the intersection of these two planes will be the required locus

Now, the direction vector of the line is i^j^k^111123=i^-2j^+k^

Also, the point 0,5,-2 satisfy both the equation of planes

Hence, the equation of the required line is x1=y-5-2=z+21
