The correct answer is: 125

Plotting the rough graph of the given data we have,

Let M be the mid-point of PQ

 M=3λ+6,2λ+1,3λ+2

Now, PM=3λ+5i^+2λ-1j^+3λ-1k^

 PM3i^+2j^+3k^

 33λ+5+22λ-1+33λ-1=0

λ=-511

 M5111,111,711

Since R is mid-point of PM

So by using midpoint formula in P & M we get,

R=6222,2322,4022, now comparing with Rα,β,γ

We get, α=6222, β=2322 & γ=4022

So, 22α+β+γ=125
