The correct answer is: 86

Since, point Pα,β,γ lies on the plane therefore, it satisfy the equation of plane and therefore we have

2α+β+γ=1  ...i

Now, we have,

αβγ191821731=000

α+8β+7γ9α+2β+3γα+β+γ=000

Hence,

α+8β+7γ=0     ...ii9α+2β+3γ=0   ...iiiα+β+γ=0         ...iv

Subtracting iv from i, we get

α=1

Putting in iii & iv, we get

2β+3γ=-9  ...v

β+γ=-1  ...vi

On solving, we get γ=-7 & β=6

Therefore,

α2+β2+γ2=86
