Detailed Solution

Let  A'(x2,y2,z2)  be th image of  A(2,1,6,) about mirror  x+y2z=3.  Then,
 x221=y211=z262=2(2+1123)12+12+(2)2=4
 (x2,y2,z2)=(6,5,2)
  The coordinates of  A'  are  (6,5,2)
let  x23=y14=z65=5
x=2+3λ,y=1+4λ,z=6+5λ,   lies on plane 
 x+y2z=3 2+3λ+1+4λ2(6+5λ)=3 λ=4
   The coordinates of B are (-10,-15,-14)
