The correct answer is: 13-7i^+j^-19k^

Given that,

Position vector of A is i^+2j^-3k^ and it is parallel to vector 2i^+j^+2k^.

The vector equation of line passing through the point A and parallel to vector b is

r=a+λb

r=i^+2j^-3k^+λ2i^+j^+2k^

r=1+2λi^+2+λj^+-3+2λk^  ...1

The equation of plane π passing through the point i^+j^+k^, i^-j^-k^ and parallel to vector i^-2j^ is

r=1-ta+tb+sc

=1-ti^+j^+k^+ti^-j^-k^+s(i^-2j^

=1-ti^+1-tj^+1-tk^+ti^-tj^-tk^+si^-2sj^

=1-t+t+si^+1-t-t-2sj^+1-t-t+0k^

=1+si^+1-2t-2sj^+1-2tk^  ...2 

From equations (1) & (2),

1+2λ=1+s2λ=s

λ=s2  ...3

2+λ=1-2t-2s

λ+2t+2s=-1  ...4

-3+2λ=1-2t

2λ+2t=1+3

2λ+2t=4  ...5

Solving equations (4) & (5),

4-5λ+2t+2s-2λ-2t=-1-4

-λ+2s=-5

-s2+2s=-5  [ From equation (3)]

-s+4s=-10

3s=-10

s=-103

 λ=s2=-106

From equation (5),

2-106+2t=4

2t=4+103

2t=223

t=113

The point of intersection is,

r=i^+2j^-3k^-1062i^+j^+2k^

=i^+2j^-3k^-103i^-53j^-103k^

=1-103i^+2-53j^+-3-103k^

=-73i^+13j^-193k^

=13-7i^+j^-19k^

The point where the plane π meets the line L is

13-7i^+j^-19k^.
