The correct answer is: 14

Given,

The equation of the plane passing through the line of intersection of the planes 2x-y+z=3, 4x-3y+5z+9=0 and parallel to the line x+1-2=y+34=z-25 is ax+by+cz+6=0,

Now let, P1=2x-y+z=3

And P2=4x-3y+5z+9=0

Now using family of planes we get,

P1+λP2=0

(2x-y+z-3)+λ(4x-3y+5z+9)=0

(2+4λ)x-(1+3λ)y+(1+5λ)z-(3-9λ)=0

Now let,

P3=(2+4λ)x-(1+3λ)y+(1+5λ)z-(3-9λ)=0

Now given P3 is parallel to line,

x+1-2=y+34=z-25

So, using perpendicular condition as normal vector of plane will be perpendicular to given line we get,

-2(2+4λ)-4(1+3λ)+5(1+5λ)=0

-3+5λ=0

λ=35

Hence, equation of plane P3 will be,

P3:22x5-14y5+20z5+125=0

P3=11x-7y+10z+6=0

Now on comparing with ax+by+cz+6=0, we get,

a=11b=-7 and c=10

a+b+c=11-7+10=14
