Detailed Solution

Any plane through the first line may be written as a(x1)+b(y+1)+c(z)=0        ...(i)

Where,  2a-b+3c=0      ...(ii)

It will pass through the second line, if the point (0, 2, -1) on the second line also lies on (i) 

i.e. if a(01)+b(2+1)+c(1)=0,

i.e., a+3bc=0     ...(iii)

Solving (ii) and (iii), we get a8=b1=c5

i.e a8=b1=c5

 Required plane is  8(x1)+1(y+1)5(z)=0

 8x+y5z7=0.
