The correct answer is: 12

Equation of plane passing through line of intersection of given planes is given by,

x-2y+z+2+α3x-y-z+1=0

Since, the plane passes through the point 1, 1, 1 therefore, this point will satisfy equation of plane.

1-2+1+2+α3-1-1+1=0

α=-1

Then, equation of planes becomes x-2y+z+2-13x-y-z+1=0

-2x-y+2z+1=0

Now, X intercept of this plane can be calculated by putting y=z=0, we get

-2x+1=0

x=12 is the X intercept.
