Given question has to be αx+βy+γz=1, then only we can find  'γ'
But given αx+βy+yz=1, which is wrong.
If the coefficient of z is γ then 
Dr’s of the line joining the pts A(1,2,3),B(2,3,5) is ±(3,1,2)
=(3,1,2) or (3,1,2)
So equation of the plane passing through (3, -2, 5) and Dr’s of the normal to plane (3, -1, -2) is
axx1+byy1+czz1=03(x3)1(y+2)2(z5)=03xy2z92+10=03xy2z1=03xy2z=1..(1)
So comparing (1) with given, αx+βy+γz=1, we get
α=3,β=1,γ=2αβγ=3(1)(2)=6
