The equation of plane is 3x – y + 4z = 2
the mirror image of point (2,4,7) in given plane is (a, b, c) then
a23=b41=c74=2(64+282)(9+1+16)a23=b41=c74=2813a23=2813a=28×313+2=5813b41=2813b=2813+4=8013c74=2813c=28×413+7=2113
the  image of point (2,4,7) in given plane  3x – y + 4z = 2 is 5813,8013,2113
Hence the value of (2a + b + 2c) = 116+804213=7813=6
