 Let the image of point A(1,2,3) about x+y+z=12 be D(p,q,r). Then 

p11=q21=z31=2(1+2+312)12+12+12

 D(p,q,r)D(5,6,7)

 Now equation of line CD is x535=y656=z797 or 

x52=y61=z72=λ (say) 

Question Image

Point B is point of intersection of AC with the plane.

 Let  B(2λ+5,λ+6,2λ+7)

This point lies on the plane. Therefore,

2λ+5λ+6+2λ+7=12λ=6B(7,0,19)
