The correct answer is: 314

We have,

Equation of line PM is

x-21=y+12=z-3-1=λ

Any point on the line is

Mλ+2,2λ-1,-λ+3

Point M lies on the plane, so

λ+2+22λ-1-3-λ=0

λ=12

Point M52,0,52

For Image Qα,β,γ, we have

α+22=52,β-12=0

γ+32=52

So, Q3,1,2

Distance of the point Q from the plane 3x+3y+z+29=0 is

d=33+21+2+2932+22+12

d=4214=314 units
