Let \mathrm{Q}(\alpha, \beta, \gamma)  be the image of \mathrm{P}, about the plane

2 \mathrm{x}-\mathrm{y}+\mathrm{z}=9
\frac{\alpha-1}{2}=\frac{\beta-2}{-1}=\frac{\gamma-3}{1}=2
\Rightarrow \alpha=5, \beta=0, \gamma=5
\text{Then area of triangle }\mathrm{PQR} is =\frac{1}{2}|\overrightarrow{\mathrm{PQ}} \times \overrightarrow{\mathrm{PR}}|
=|-12 \hat{\mathrm{i}}-3 \hat{\mathrm{j}}+21 \hat{\mathrm{k}}|=\sqrt{144+9+441}=\sqrt{594}

Square of area =594
