The correct answer is: 594

Given,

The image of the point P(1, 2, 3) in the plane 2xy+z=9 be Q,

The coordinates of the point R are (6, 10, 7), 

Now plotting the diagram we get,

R lies on plane as 6,10,7 satisfy the plane equation 2xy+z=9

Now length of PR=52+82+42=105

Now finding the angle between PR & PM(which is normal vector to plane) we get,

cosθ=PR·PMPR·PM

cosθ=(5i^+8j^+4k^)(2i^-j^+k^)1056

cosθ=6630

Now Area(PQR)=2area(PMR)

PQR=2·12·PRsinθ·PRcosθ

PQR=2·12(PR)2sinθ cosθ

PQR=105·6630·594630

PQR=594

Hence, area of the square will be 594
