The correct answer is: 47

Point Q is image of point P w.r.to plane, M is mid point of P and Q, lies in plane 

M1+α2,3+β2,5+γ2

4x-5y+2z=8

41+α2-53+β2+25+γ2=8  ...1

Also PQ perpendicualr to the plane

PQn

α-14=β-3-5=γ-52=k (let)

α=1+4kβ=3-5kγ=5+2k  ...2

use 2 in 1

21+4k-56-5k2+10+2k=8

k=25

from 2  α=135,β=1,γ=295

5α+β+γ=13+5+29=47
