The correct answer is: 7

Given,

System of linear equation,

x+2y-9z=7 .......i

x+3y+7z=9 .......ii

2x+y+5z=8 ......iii

3x+y+13z=λ ......iv

Now solving, equations i, ii & iii we get,

x=3, y=2, z=0

Now substituting in equation iv we get,

3×3+2=λ

λ=11

Now finding the distance of Point 3, 2, 0 from the plane 2x-2y+z=11 we get,

d=-6-4-1122+22+1=213=7
