The correct answer is: 373
Any general point on the line is 2λ+2, 2λ-2, λ+1

This point most satisfy x+y+z=21

Hence 2λ+2+2λ-2+λ+1=21λ=4

So, the point of intersection of line and plane is (10, 6, 5)

So, equation of plane P = 0 is 2x-10+2(y-6)+1(z-5)=0

2x+2y+z-37=0

Hence, distance of P=0 from origin is

=373=373
