The correct answer is: -16
If the plane contains the given line then it must pass through 3,b,3 and should be parallel to 2i^+4j^+3k^
Also, the plane passes through the points a,1,22,1,42,3,5.
Equation of the plane is
x-2y-1z-4021243=0
x-22-y-1-2+z-4-4=0
x-2+y-1-2z+8=0
x+y-2z+5=0
points 3,b,3a,1,2 satisfy the equation of the plane, if
3+b-6+5=0b=-2
a+1-4+5=0a=-2
