Here \overline{BA}= \left ( x-3 \right )\hat{i}+3\hat{j}-2\hat{k}
         \overline{BC}= \hat{i}+3\hat{j}+4\hat{k}
         \overline{BD}= \hat{i}-3\hat{k}
As A,B, C and D are coplanar so \left [ \overrightarrow{BA}\, \overrightarrow{BC} \, \overrightarrow{BD} \right ]
                           = \begin{vmatrix} x-3 &3 &-2 \\ 1& 3 & 4\\ 1& 0 & -3 \end{vmatrix}= 0    
\Rightarrow \left ( x-3 \right )\left ( -9 \right )-3\left ( -7 \right )-2\left ( -3 \right )= 0
                     \therefore x= 6
