The correct answer is: 61

Equation of line

x-12=y-23=z+16

Let x-12=y-23=z+16=λ

x = 2λ+1, y = 3λ+2, z=6λ-1

   Let P(2λ+1,3λ+2,6λ-1) is point of intersection of line and plane

So it should satisfy the given plane.

  2(2λ+1)-3λ-2+6λ-1=6

7λ=7λ=1

Point P(3,5,5)

Square of distance from point (-1,-1,2)  and P(3,5,5)

=x2-x12 +y2-y12 +z2-z12  

=42+62+32=61
