\[\text{ Given equation of line is } \]
\[ \vec{r} = \left( 2 \hat{i}  - \hat{j}  + 2 \hat{k}  \right) + \lambda \left( 3 \hat{i}  + 4 \hat{j} + 12 \hat{k} \right)\]
\[ \Rightarrow \vec{r} = \left( 2 + 3\lambda \right) \hat{i}  + \left( - 1 + 4\lambda \right) \hat{j} + \left( 2 + 12\lambda \right) \hat{k}  \]
\[\text{ The coordinates of any point on this line are of the form } \left( 2 + 3\lambda \right) \hat{i}  + \left( - 1 + 4\lambda \right) \hat{j}  + \left( 2 + 12\lambda \right) \hat{k}  . \text{ or }\left( 2 + 3\lambda, - 1 + 4\lambda, 2 + 12\lambda \right)\]
\[\text{ Since this point lies on the plane } \vec{r} .\left( \hat{i}  - \hat{j}  + \hat{k}  \right)= 5 ,\]
\[\left[ \left( 2 + 3\lambda \right) \hat{i}  + \left( - 1 + 4\lambda \right) \hat{j}  + \left( 2 + 12\lambda \right) \hat{k}  \right] . \left( \hat{i}  - \hat{j}  + \hat{k} \right) = 5 \]
\[ \Rightarrow 2 + 3\lambda + 1 - 4\lambda + 2 + 12\lambda - 5 = 0\]
\[ \Rightarrow \lambda = 0\]
\[\text{ So, the coordinates of the point are } \]
\[ \left( 2 + 3\lambda, - 1 + 4\lambda, 2 + 2\lambda \right)\]
\[ = \left( 2 + 0, - 1 + 0, 2 + 0 \right)\]
\[ = \left( 2, - 1, 2 \right)\]
\[\text{ Distance between (2, -1, 2) and (-1, -5, -10) } \]
\[ = \sqrt{\left( - 1 - 2 \right)^2 + \left( - 5 + 1 \right)^2 + \left( - 10 - 2 \right)^2}\]
\[ = \sqrt{9 + 16 + 144}\]
\[ = 13 \text{ units } \]
