The correct answer is: 983

Coordinates of P,Q,R are r1,-r1+1,2r1-2, 2r2,r2+1,r2-2, -r3,-r3+1,r3-2 respectively.
It must satisfy the plane, hence r1=32,r2=-32,r3=+1. So points P,Q,R are 32,-12,1,-3,-12,-72 1,0,1 respectively.
PQ=-92i^-92k^
PR=-52ı^+12j^-2k^
Area =12PQ×PR
=18ij^k^-90-9-51-4

=189i^+9j^-9k^=938 sq. units
