Detailed Solution

Given:
Equation of required plane contain the point A(2, 1, -1),
Hence, by using the standard equation of the plane a(x-x1)+b(y-y1)+c(z-z1)=0, where (x1, y1, z1)=(2, 1,-1). It follows,
a(x-2)+b(y-1)+c(z+1)=0
From the question given that plane is perpendicular to the line of intersection of 2x+y−z=3 and
x+2y+z=2,
Hence, it’s coefficient dot product will zero,
(2,1,1)(a,b,c)=02a+bc=0...(1) (For line 2x+y-z=3)
For line x+2y+z=2,
(1, 2, 1) ⋅(a,b,c) = 0 a+2b+c=0....(2)
Let add the equation (1) in (2),
(2a+b-c)+(a+2b+c)=0+0 3a+3b=0a-b
Substitute the value of a=-b in equation (1),
2aac=0a=ca=b=c=k (Assume) 
Now, the equation of the plane,
a(x2)+b(y1)+c(z+1)=0
Substitute a=b=c=k in the equation.
k(x2)k(y1)+k(z+1)=0x2y+1+z+1=0xy+z=0
Now, recall the formula for angle between line and plane which is given by,
sin θ=la+mb+ncl2+m2+n2a2+b2+c2
Now, the angle between y-axis(D.R’s (0, 1, 0)) and x-y+z=0 is,
Here, (a, b, c)=(0, 1, 0) and (l, m, n)=(1, -1, 1)
sin θ=(1)0+(1)(1)+(1)012+(1)2+1202+12+02sin θ=01+01+1+11sin θ=13sin θ=13θ=sin1 13
Therefore, the equation of plane is xy+z=0 and the angle between y-axis and the plane is θ=sin1 13

OR

Given,

The line of equation:r=(3i^2j^+6k^)+λ(2i^j^+2kj^)
And the plane of the equation: r(i^j^+k^)=6
To find the point of intersection of line and plane, we will putting the value ofrfrom the equation of line into the equation of plane,
[(3i^2j^+6k^)+λ(2i^j^+2k^](i^j^+k^=6[3i^2j^+6k^+2λi^λj^+2λk^](1i^1j^+1k^)=6[(3+2λ)i^+(2λ)j^+(6+2λ)k^](1i^1j^+1k^)=6(3+2λ)×1+(2λ)×(1)+(6+2λ)×1=63+2λ+2+λ+6+2λ=65λ+11=65λ=6115λ=5λ=1
Substitute this value in the equation of line,
r=(3i^2j^+6k^)+(1)(2i^j^+2k^)r=3i^2j^+6k^2i^+j^2k^r=i^j^+4k^
Let the point of intersection be (x, y, z),
Hence, r=xi^+yj^+zk^
i^j^+4k^=xi^+yj^+zk^
Therefore, x=1, y=-1 and z=4.
So the point of intersection is Q(1, -1, 4).
Now, we know that the distance between two points (x1, y1, z1) and (x2, y2, z2) is
x2x12+y2y12+z2z12
For distance between P(-2, -4, 7) and Q(1, -1, 4),
=(1(2))2+((1)(4))2+(47)2=32+32+(3)2
=9+9+9=27=33
For vector equation of PQ,
Given that PQ passes through P(-2, -4, 7), so its position vector is given by,
a=2i^4j^+7k^
Now, for direction ration of PQ,
(1(2))=3,(1(4))=3 and (47)=3
So, the equation of the vector in the direction of PQ is,
b=3i^+3j^3k^
Recall the equation of vector form r=a+μb,μR For PQ
r=2i^4j^+7k^+μ(3i^+3j^3k^)
Therefore, distance between the points PQ is 33 and the vector equation of the line PQ isr=2i^4j^+7k^+μ(3i^+3j^3k^)
