Equation of plane passing through the line of

intersection of P1 and P2 is given by
x + y + z − 1 + λ(2x + 3y + 4z − 7) = 0
⟹ x(1 + 2λ) + y(1 + 3λ) + z(1 + 4λ) − 1 − 7λ = 0
This is perpendicular to x − 5y − 3z − 5 = 0
⟹ 1(1 + 2λ) − 5(1 + 3λ) + 3(1 + 4λ) = 0
⟹ 1 + 2λ − 5 − 15λ + 3 + 12λ = 0
Let equation of circle is ⟹ −λ − 1 = 0 ⟹ λ = −1
∴ Equation of plane is
x 2 − x + y 2 + 6y + λ(−y − 6 + 6x) = 0
−x − 2y − 3z − 1 + 7 = 0 ⟹ x + 2y + 3z = 0
