As we learnt in 

Condition for line to be lie in plane -

\vec{b}\cdot \vec{n}= 0 and \vec{a}\cdot \vec{n}= d or

a_{1}a+b_{1}b+c_{1}c= 0  and a_{1}x_{1}+b_{1}y_{1}+c_{1}z_{1}+d= 0

-

 

 \frac{x-2}{3}=\frac{y-1}{-5}=\frac{z+2}{2}

(2,1,-2) lies in x+3y-\alpha z+ \beta=0

2+3+2\alpha + \beta=0

2\alpha +\beta =-5

Also, (\hat{i}+3\hat{j} -\hat{k}). (3\hat{i}-5\hat{j}+2\hat{k})=0

Since line 1 isperpendicular to normal plane, 3-15-2k=0

\Rightarrow    k= -6
