Plane passing through L2 is of the form (3x+2y+z2)+λ (x3y+2z13)=0
Suppose L1 lies on above plane then, (3+λ)3+(23λ)(1)+(2)(1+2λ)=0
λ=94
 Plane containing L1 & L2 is 21x19y+22z125=0
(5,4,α)  lies on the plane 22α=154α=7
DR’s of  PQ =  (3λ1,λ1,52λ)
3(3λ1)+(λ1)+(2)(52λ)=0 
λ=1
P= (-2,-3,5)=(a,b,c)
Now |a|+|b|+|c|=10
   
 
  P= (-2,-3,5)=(a,b,c)
