The correct answer is: 92

Let x-12=y+13=z-24=λ

Let, coordinate of any point on line is P=2λ+1, 3λ-1, 4λ+2

If P is intersection point of plane & line then P will lie on plane x+2y+3z=15

 2λ+1+23λ-1+34λ+2=15

λ=12
 P=2×12+1, 3×12-1, 4×12+2=2, 12, 4

The distance of a point x1, y1, z1 from origin O is x12+y12+z12 

 OP=22+122+42=814=92 units.
