\frac{x-3}{1}=\frac{y-4}{2}=\frac{z-5}{2}=\lambda \\ \\\Rightarrow x=\lambda+3, y=2 \lambda+4, z=2 \lambda+5

Which lies on given plane hence

\\\Rightarrow \lambda+3+2 \lambda+4+2 \lambda+5=17\\\\\Rightarrow \lambda=\frac{5}{5}=1

\begin{aligned} &\text { Hence, point of intersection is } \mathrm{Q}(4,6,7)\\ &\therefore \text { Required distance }=\mathrm{PQ} \end{aligned}

PQ=\sqrt{9+25+4} =\sqrt{38}
