Let P be the point of intersection of the line
and the plane x + y + z = 2. If the distance of the point P from the plane 3z – 4y + 12z = 32 is q, then q and 2q are the roots of the equation

Given.
P be the point of intersection of the line
and the plane x + y + z = 2
Now let, 
Say. point A(3
- 3,
- 2, 1 - 2
)
Since point lie on the plane also.
So, 3
- 3 +
- 2 + 1 - 2
= 2
2
=6
= 3
Hence, the point will be P(6, 1, - 5)
Now finding the distance of the point P(6, 1, - 5) from the plane 3x – 4y + 12z = 32 we get.

Equation with roots q and 2q will be.
x 2 – 3qx + 2q 2 = = 0
