Let P be the point (2, -1, 3) and Q be its reflection in the given plane. 

Then, PQ is perpendicular to the given plane

Hence, d.r.'s of PQ are 3, -2, 1 and consequently, equations of 

 PQ are x23=y+12=z31

Any point on this line is (3r+2,2r1,r+3)

Let this point be Q. Then midpoint of PQ 

=3r+2+22,2r112,r+3+32=3r+42,r1,r+62

This point lies in given plane i.e. 

33r+422(r1)r+62=99r+12+4r+4+r6=914r=8r=47

Hence, the required point Q is

347+2,2471,47+3=267,157,177
