Let $$P$$ be the point of intersection of the line $$\frac{x+3}{3} = \frac{y+2}{1} = \frac{1-z}{2}$$ and the plane $$x + y + z = 2$$. If the distance of the point $$P$$ from the plane $$3x - 4y + 12z = 32$$ is $$q$$, then $$q$$ and $$2q$$ are the roots of the equation
Line: $$\frac{x+3}{3} = \frac{y+2}{1} = \frac{1-z}{2} = t$$
Parametric: $$x = 3t-3, y = t-2, z = 1-2t$$
Substituting in plane $$x + y + z = 2$$:
$$(3t-3) + (t-2) + (1-2t) = 2$$
$$2t - 4 = 2$$
$$t = 3$$
$$P = (6, 1, -5)$$
Distance from $$3x - 4y + 12z = 32$$:
$$q = \frac{|18 - 4 - 60 - 32|}{\sqrt{9+16+144}} = \frac{|-78|}{13} = 6$$
So $$q = 6, 2q = 12$$.
Equation with roots 6 and 12: $$x^2 - 18x + 72 = 0$$
The correct answer is Option 2.
