The correct answer is: 5

Since the plane contain two lines whose direction ratios are -1,2,1 and 1,3,2 .

So, normal vector to the plane is given by i^j^k^-121132=i^+3j^-5k^

Since, the plane passes through 2,1,k, its equation is given by

x-2+3y-1-5z-k=0

If it passes through 3,-1,4, then 

3-2+3-1-1-54-k=0k=5
